On New Years Day (January 1, 2026), the 2026 Luzhou New Year Lantern Fair opened its doors at Xiaoyaojin Park in Hefei, Anhui Province. Known as Luzhou in ancient times, this iconic Spring Festival attraction is back and bigger than ever! 🏮
This year, more than 50 large-scale lantern installations blend age-old craftsmanship with cutting-edge digital effects. The showstopper? A 14-meter-long, 13-meter-high horse-shaped lantern that gallops to life with lights and projections, making it the ultimate spot for your feed. 📸✨
From noon until the park closes, you can catch vibrant parades, theatrical performances and traditional dances that bring the festival atmosphere to every corner. Families, friends and solo adventurers can immerse themselves in a journey through Hefei’s past and present—pure Spring Festival magic on display! 🎉
The lantern fair runs daily through March 4, 2026. Whether you’re here for the art, the culture or just the Insta snaps, Xiaoyaojin Park is where tradition meets tomorrow. Don’t miss out!
