A Lunar New Year without the Zigong Lantern Festival is incomplete.

As a Sichuan native, I thought: Before: What's so special about the lantern festival? After: Wow... It was so worth it. The golden sunrise was truly breathtaking! Unfortunately, my phone couldn't capture even a fraction of its beauty. It was a sight to behold. And the mirage at the center was so dreamy. I didn't want to leave. The Zigong Lantern Festival is set up in a circular shape. If you don't want to retrace your steps, you can follow this route: Enter through the west gate, then go to "Joyful Gate," "Bumper Harvest," "New Year Baby," "Twin Beauties of Qingcheng," "Welcoming the God of Wealth," "Dinosaur Valley," "Golden Sunrise," "Extraordinary Ordinary People," "Monkey King," "Mirage," "Punk Twins," "World's No. 1 Lantern," "Honor of Kings," "Smart Dinosaurs," "Peacock Display," etc. Many of the displays are perfect for taking photos from a distance! Additional tips: √ Try to arrive early, as it takes some time to enter the park. √ The park is large, and it takes about 3 hours to explore. √ Wear comfortable shoes, as you'll be walking for a long time. √ The 31st Zigong International Dinosaur Lantern Festival will be held from January 18 to May 5, and the park will be closed on New Year's Eve. Whether you're a Zigong native or not, the Zigong Intangible Cultural Heritage Lantern Festival is worth a visit.
