Is the festive atmosphere fading? Then you should visit Jingzhou Garden Expo Park, where the 'New Year flavor' is authentic.
When we were children, every kid looked forward to the Spring Festival the most. They would secretly take out the new clothes bought in advance and look at them a few times, but they had to wait until the first day of the New Year to wear them. There were also many foods and people that were not usually seen. Walking through the streets, everyone had smiles on their faces. But as we grow up, the festive atmosphere seems to be fading. Especially after starting work, there is not much anticipation for the Spring Festival anymore. Maybe it's because we don't want to face the questions from aunts and uncles at home, or maybe it's because we don't want to face the sadness of parting after the holiday. Always, the New Year gradually loses its fun.
However, in 2021, the Spring Festival in Jingzhou will be different from what you imagine. Jingzhou Garden Expo Park and Xi'an Tang Paradise will jointly hold a Twin-City Twin-Park Lantern Festival before and after the Spring Festival, from February 4th to March 14th. This garden lantern festival spans multiple traditional festivals including Little New Year, Spring Festival, and Lantern Festival. Using a variety of exquisite lantern sets, it displays the folk culture and lifestyles of ordinary people from multiple angles and in all directions.
The lantern festival has five major sections: Spring Night Garden Tour, Forge Ahead Jingzhou, China's Power, Memories of Jingzhou, and Tech Jingzhou. Each section features different styles of lantern sets, all lit up in the park. Every set and every lantern showcases the New Year culture, Jingchu culture, and Jingzhou's charm to visitors and residents. Of course, the lantern festival is not just about viewing lanterns. The Garden Expo Park also presents folk customs and local specialty activities from both Jingzhou and Xi'an, realizing cultural exchange between the two cities. Additionally, local delicacies from both places are offered for visitors to taste in the park.
Each lantern set showcases Jingzhou's brand-new city image, creating a New Year cultural feast that combines tradition and modernity, antiquity and fashion. Integrating various trendy elements and technological features, it creates a diverse and inclusive Jingzhou New Year and Chinese New Year. This Spring Festival, visiting Jingzhou Garden Expo Park will offer an unparalleled visual feast, allowing you to rediscover the 'festive atmosphere' that is gradually disappearing in modern society. Together with family and friends, create different New Year memories.
