Last week, on January 1, 2026, the Luzhou New Year Lantern Fair opened at Xiaoyaojin Park in Hefei, Anhui Province in the Chinese mainland! 🏮✨ Running through March 4, this glowing spectacle fuses centuries-old lantern craftsmanship with digital art and immersive displays.
As we gear up for the upcoming Year of the Horse, over 50 installations celebrate zodiac themes with majestic horse lanterns lighting the way. From traditional silk creations to interactive light shows that respond to your every move, it's pure #LanternGoals IRL! 🤳
The fair also features live folk dances, energetic performances, and a nightly molten iron fireworks show that transforms glowing sparks into a fiery dance—think Tron meets Chinese New Year! 🎆🐴
