Xiashi lanterns, listed as tribute, surpass the beauty of the first lantern market in Jiangnan!

Originating in Xiashi Town, Haining, Xiashi lanterns have been renowned throughout Jiangnan since the Tang Dynasty. With intricate craftsmanship, they serve both religious and entertainment purposes, showcasing magnificent beauty. Boasting a history of over 1,200 years, Xiashi lanterns have been listed as a first-batch national intangible cultural heritage. Stepping into the Xiashi Lantern Museum is like entering a dazzling world of lights and colors. The exquisite craftsmanship is truly stunning! Each palace lantern is made with four to five hundred thousand stitches, and each needle-punched lamp sheet requires various needle techniques, such as arranging, hooking, and breaking flowers, making them incredibly intricate. The teapot lamps, vase lamps, and antique lacquer pot lamps have received the World Outstanding Handicraft Product Badge from UNESCO, gaining international recognition! The Yuntian Pavilion Lantern is a favorite, featuring curved colorful railings, carved hall doors, curved colorful ridges, and painted needlepoint viewing pavilions. Each level has twenty-four pillars and twelve upturned eaves, presenting an antique charm. The Xiashi Lantern Festival during the Lantern Festival is known as the "First Lantern Market in Jiangnan." If you wish, you can visit the Haining Lantern Museum anytime to relive the stunning beauty and romance seen on CCTV's Spring Festival Gala!
