Lantern Festival at Beihai Park

This year's Lantern Festival coincides with the last day of the sixth nine-day period. The Taiye Pool at Beihai Park remains a tranquil expanse of ice, with only the edges near the shore showing signs of flowing water. By the water's edge, slender willow branches sway gently in the breeze, their faint green hue hinting at the arrival of spring. The Qionghua Island corridor, built around the lake, boasts exquisite ceiling paintings and is adorned with red lanterns, exuding a festive and auspicious atmosphere. Hanging red lanterns is an essential decorative element in royal gardens during the Spring Festival and Lantern Festival, symbolizing people's longing for a joyful and harmonious life. The Yong'an Bridge at the south gate of Beihai Park is adorned with red lanterns. The tall pole lanterns carry the beautiful meaning of smooth sailing and rising prosperity. Under the red lanterns, visitors gather to take photos, their smiles full of anticipation for spring and blessings for the Year of the Snake. Visitor numbers at Beihai Park have decreased compared to the Spring Festival holiday, making for a more comfortable visit. No reservation is required for Beihai Park; visitors can purchase tickets by scanning a QR code or at the ticket window. 🏮🏮🏮🏮🏮🏮🏮🏮
