🏮 The night skies of southeast China's Fujian Province are glowing brighter than ever! The Mawei-Matsu Lantern Festival has kicked off, lighting up hearts and streets alike. 🎉
This isn't just any lantern festival—it's the first national intangible cultural heritage connecting both sides of the Taiwan Straits! 🌊❤️ With stunning lanterns from both the mainland and Taiwan region, it's a colorful celebration of the Chinese New Year, highlighting a cherished tradition shared across the strait.
✨ Now in its 23rd year, the festival is bigger and brighter than ever, coinciding with the first \"world ICH (intangible cultural heritage) edition\" of the Spring Festival. And guess what? It's running for a record-breaking 53 days! 🗓️ That's nearly two months of magical nights under the lantern-lit skies!
Whether you're a culture enthusiast, a traveler seeking new adventures, or just love a good festival vibe, this is the place to be. So grab your friends, soak in the vibrant lights, and celebrate unity and tradition in the most luminous way! ✨🎊
