The Zigong Lantern Festival is here, and I don't want to leave
The Lantern Festival covers an area of 550 acres and is known as the 'Number One Lantern under Heaven', becoming a new calling card for the city.
You can see Sanxingdui, the Giant God Tree, and the Prosperity of the Tang Dynasty here, with visually stunning impacts. Different NPCs perform in various parts of the park, offering a highly immersive experience that one can indulge in. Today is the last day of the May Day holiday and also the last day the Lantern Festival is open. From the opening to the closing of the park, I am reluctant to leave...

Get a sneak peek! Zigong Lantern Festival is different this year
On the evening of January 26, the 30th Zigong International Dinosaur Lantern Festival was lit up at the China Lantern World. The festival, which will officially open to the public on February 2, is themed 'Splendid, Fashionable, Technological, and Eco-friendly'. It is divided into four major thematic sections: 'Chinese Symphony, Prosperous Celebration, Taste of Chinese New Year, and Romantic China'. With thousands of lantern sets, the profound 5000-year Chinese culture is integrated into the shimmering lights, allowing visitors to appreciate the artistic charm of the Chinese civilization intertwined with Zigong's lantern art, as well as the cultural tension between traditional culture and cutting-edge trends.

Zigong Lantern Festival! Truly the pinnacle of lantern festivals in China! Here's a guide
Zigong Lantern Festival is indeed the pinnacle among lantern festivals. Having heard of its fame since childhood, I finally got the chance to go with friends to see the lanterns in Zigong this year!
Here's to share my experience and tips for the lantern festival:
Chengdu🚅Zigong: Direct high-speed train, just over an hour.
After arriving at Zigong station, it's just a ten-minute taxi ride, which is very convenient.
⏰The opening hours of the lantern festival venue are 16:00, but you have to wait until 18:30 for the lights to come on in the park after it gets dark.
PS: I suggest everyone to go in early, then walk to the inside, and start taking pictures as soon as the lights are on, as there are not many people inside at that time. If you enter after the lights are on, it's so crowded that it's difficult to take portraits.
There are thousands of lantern sets at the Zigong Lantern Festival site, dazzling to the eyes. A few areas that left a deep impression on me are:
✔️The incredibly stunning Dunhuang murals in the Dreamlike Flying to the Sky area, truly amazing!
✔️The Wuhua Tianbao area, which gives a feeling of dreaming back to the Tang Dynasty.
✔️The Salt Street Lantern Market is very lively, with performances, and a strong New Year atmosphere～
✔️The Pop Mart lantern area, super cute and adorable!
This time, the layout of the Zigong Lantern Festival park is circular, so if you don't want to backtrack, you can visit it like this:
Gate of Huaxia — Cyber Qin and Han — Dreamlike Flying to the Sky — Nian Beast Celebrating New Year — Glory Canyon — Wuhua Tianbao — Feast of Gluttony — Pop Mart — Joyful Chinese New Year — Flowers in Full Bloom — Brilliant Tribute — Praise of Bashu Civilization
Thank you for reading, see you next time👋🏻

The Zigong Lantern Festival must be what it looks like when the Heavenly Court celebrates the New Year
This year, I was invited to see the Zigong Lantern Festival again. Every year during the Chinese New Year period, a dreamlike and bustling lantern city suddenly stands in this small southern Sichuan town.
The design of this year's lantern sets is also very impressive, with splendid pavilions and vast waves, finding many themes from traditional culture, and expressing them romantically with modern materials and technology. The sight is dazzling but not chaotic, with giant objects in jubilation, as if the Heavenly Court is celebrating the New Year, a kind of sophisticated color scheme belonging to Chinese tradition.
But you should know, those pavilions, mythical creatures, figures, and exotic flowers and plants in the pictures... they are all lanterns, strictly speaking, lanterns.
Now it's very convenient to go to Zigong, just 40 minutes by high-speed train from Tianfu Airport. I think everyone should take the time to come and see it, after all, it represents the highest level of lantern-making technology in the world.
VoyagingDreamer
Visiting Zigong Lantern Festival again
The Zigong Lantern Festival is as crowded as ever. I went there after the Lantern Festival last year, and the visitors were endless. I went there on the sixth day of this year, and it was difficult to move. The skills of making lanterns are improving year by year, and the viewing experience for each viewer is different with each year's theme. Compared with this, I prefer last year's League of Legends and Swordsman Love 3 themes! The Zigong Lantern Festival is a peerless existence in China every year! However, compared with its previous sessions, there is still a difference in quality. It is suggested to go and see it at least once every five years, avoiding the Spring Festival holiday and Lantern Festival, the experience of viewing lanterns will be better.

The Zigong Lantern Festival is so beautiful
From the outside, you can't see much of the Zigong Lantern Festival, but once you enter, it's a feast for the eyes. The Zigong Lantern Festival is worth a visit, especially with your family or parents. However, you need to buy tickets in advance. We always buy tickets in advance. If you go to the scene to buy tickets, you will definitely not be able to buy tickets. Not to mention, there will be thousands of people grabbing tickets at the same time. I don't mind if you go to the scene to grab tickets. If you want to go, book the hotel in advance, buy the tickets, and then go. Play until 12 o'clock in the middle of the night, then stay in a hotel for one night. The next day, eat some delicious food in Zigong, then drive slowly back to your own city. It's nice to travel leisurely without rushing. Accompany your parents, accompany your family to Zigong to experience the visual impact brought by the Zigong Lantern Festival. I believe everyone will be amazed. Before you go, be sure to prepare a guide!

The 'master' of 'festooned with lanterns and streamers' — Zigong Lantern Festival
Sichuan Zigong, also known as the millennium salt capital, southern lantern city, dinosaur town, and food capital. Just by hearing the 'alias', you can know how important it is in the hearts of the people of Sichuan.
Zigong Lantern Festival, as a national intangible cultural heritage and a model of Chinese festival culture, has been identified as one of the 'Perception of China' series of activities.
The lantern festival has a long history and distinctive features. Here, since the Tang Dynasty, there has been a local tradition of lighting lanterns for the New Year, and by the Qing Dynasty, there were 'lion lantern markets' and 'lantern pole festivals'; by the early 20th century, it gradually formed a festival lantern meeting, and there were activities such as releasing sky lanterns, dragon lantern dances, lion lantern plays, and flower lantern celebrations.
If you haven't heard of Zigong before, let me take you to appreciate the Zigong Lantern Festival first...
