The Lantern Festival at Xi'an Tang Paradise

On the day of the Lantern Festival, the lion dance performance at the Chang'an Wharf in Xi'an Tang Paradise attracted many tourists. The "Long Table Lantern Festival Banquet" was also bustling with excitement. Tourists made their own glutinous rice balls, queued up to receive free glutinous rice balls, wrote the Chinese character "Fu" (meaning "good fortune"), cut window paper, made dough figurines, experienced shadow puppet shows, and participated in activities such as making lanterns and blowing sugar figurines under the guidance of craftsmen. These activities allowed tourists to experience the strong "flavor of reunion" through intangible cultural heritage interactions. The Chang'an Lantern Festival at Xi'an Tang Paradise lit up the waterfront of Furong Lake. Forty groups of lanterns showcased the ultimate romantic culture of the Tang Dynasty. The "Furong Flower Goddess" competed in beauty and costumes, the "Phoenix" flew over the purple canopy, the "Tang People's Eight Affairs" presented the customs of the Lantern Festival, and the "Drums and Music" displayed the beauty of music and dance. It was as if people had traveled back in time a thousand years to enjoy the splendid flowers and bright lights of the Lantern Festival.
