Radiant New Year, the Ox Year Lantern Festival Is Coming—Jingzhou Garden Expo Park Invites You to Admire the Lanterns!
As the Lunar New Year of the Ox draws near, the traditional Spring Lantern Festival at Jingzhou Garden Expo Park is ready to shine. Now in its second year, the Jingzhou Garden Expo Park Spring Lantern Festival continues to innovate in every aspect, using modern lighting and energy-saving sources while emphasizing interactive experiences for visitors, creating a uniquely grand New Year celebration. Jointly hosted by Xi'an Qujiang Cultural Tourism and Jingzhou Garden Expo Park, the festival will be officially lit on February 4, 2021. Combining the former's mature experience in lantern festival branding with the latter's cultural charm and ecological beauty, it promises to bring even more excitement to residents and tourists alike.
This year's Jingzhou Garden Expo Park Spring Lantern Festival, themed 'Splendid Jingchu, Radiant Expo Garden,' features five major lantern sections: Memories of Jingchu, Striving Jingzhou, Spring Night Garden Tour, Power of China, and Sci-Tech Jingzhou, dedicated to creating a Spring Lantern Festival with distinctive Ox Year characteristics. Nearly 50 large lantern sets and close to a thousand atmospheric lanterns are scattered throughout the park, filling every corner with the festive spirit of family reunion and good fortune, immersing visitors in a fairy-tale ambiance.
Special lantern displays such as Phoenix Soaring, Fish-and-Rice Jingzhou, Happy New Year, and 'Ox' Reverses Fate express the joy of the new year while conveying sincere blessings to visitors. Lantern riddles are naturally an indispensable part of the event, and this year's riddle activities are once again held as scheduled. A five-meter-long riddle corridor covers a wide range of themes, showcasing the profoundness of traditional Chinese culture and bringing a lively festive atmosphere to the scene. Delicacies from across the country will gather here, while special performances, folk customs, and intangible cultural heritage will be presented one by one. As visitors wander through the sea of lanterns, they can not only bask in the joyful New Year atmosphere but also immerse themselves in the pleasures of the Spring Festival.
Lanterns symbolize warmth and hope. The 2021 Jingzhou Garden Expo Park Spring Lantern Festival uses the most vibrant and traditional New Year celebration to bring people a richer taste of the festive season.
