One Day Countdown! A Grand Spectacle Is About to Unfold at Jingzhou Garden Expo Park

Lanterns symbolize festivity and hope, while traditional New Year lantern fairs carry forward millennia of folk culture. Amid the increasingly approaching Spring Festival atmosphere, the Garden Expo Park will host a grand New Year lantern fair tomorrow—on February 4, the 2021 Jingzhou Garden Expo Park New Year Lantern Fair will officially light up.

This elegant and supremely romantic lantern fair draws on the charm of traditional lantern fairs, presenting a magnificent scale. This year's fair has been comprehensively upgraded from last year's, with the theme "Splendid Jingchu, Dazzling Garden Expo," steadfastly integrating culture, fun, and participation into the fair, creating a dazzling lantern fair that combines "colorful lanterns + games + food + interaction," offering visitors a higher-quality, refreshingly stunning audio-visual experience.

Spanning over a month, the lantern fair uses lanterns as a medium to convey the best wishes of the New Year to all visitors, and also provides more options for those "staying in Jingzhou for the New Year" during the Spring Festival. Glowing themed lanterns and splendid folk culture gatherings are all brilliantly presented at the Garden Expo Park. This year's fair is a collaboration between Jingzhou Garden Expo Park and Xi'an's Tang Paradise. From artistic design to production and installation, it took nearly two months to complete the design of 43 themed lantern sets and the installation of tens of thousands of ambient decorative lanterns. Such a large-scale, high-quality lantern cluster is unprecedented in Jingzhou lantern fairs.

In terms of creative design, the lanterns center on "traditional Jingchu culture, New Year festival culture, and trendy fashion culture," blending both ancient charm and modern style. Among them, the "Inspiring Jingzhou" lantern set, inspired by war drums, is grand in scale and profound in meaning; the "Chu-style Folk Performance," "Yunmeng Jingzhou," "Phoenix Auspicious Arrival," and "Phoenix Perching in Jingzhou" lantern sets, meticulously crafted based on legendary tales from Jingchu culture, are steeped in a historical sense of time; the "Duty to Defend" and "Hainan Aid to Jingzhou" lantern sets, incorporating anti-pandemic elements, showcase the spiritual strength of the Chinese people united in solidarity...

Moreover, there are lanterns here, but not just lanterns. In other planned activity areas, there are also checkpoint spots full of life, including cultural parades, internet-famous photo spots, trendy performances, local delicacies, and folk art shows, greatly enhancing the interactivity and participation of the event, providing a new experience for the vast number of visitors, ensuring non-stop excitement.

Chinese New Year, Jingchu style—a visual feast and cultural extravaganza is about to arrive. Beautiful Jingzhou, dazzling Garden Expo Park—this New Year lantern fair is simply too "spectacular"!
