[2025 Zigong ] Travel Guide for  Zigong Colorful Lantern  (Updated Feb)

I brought my family here! We had a great time! ✅😌🥳 It was so much fun during the New Year! 💕 As soon as you enter the lantern festival, your kids will be drawn to the cartoon snake lanterns 🐍, and they'll be pulling you to take pictures 📸. Then take them to see the Yingge dance, with the drums beating loudly 🥁, and the neat and powerful dance steps, so they can experience the power of our traditional culture. Then the whole family can join in the basketball competition 🏀, and cheer each other on 💪 to win a small prize 🎁, and have a great time 😄. At night, watch the light show, with the lights and the river blending together like a fairy tale. There's also the iron flower show, with molten iron turning into beautiful fireworks, and your kids will be amazed 😮 I'm telling you! A great place to go for the New Year! Baoding Lantern Festival

Zigong Lantern World 🔍 📅 Open to the public from January 18, 2025, 17:00–23:30 (lights on at 18:00 every day, we recommend entering the park a little earlier, especially during the Lunar New Year, as it is said that there will be a lot of visitors) Adults: RMB 118/ticket, Zigong locals: RMB 98/ticket, Seniors or students: RMB 80/ticket 🕐 Duration: 3–4 hours (it may take longer if you want to explore every place in more detail) This year, there are two entrances: the West Gate and the North Gate.

You can park in No. 1 or No. 2, and then walk to the site. There are shuttle buses from No. 3 to No. 5. Worth seeing: The most worthwhile lantern group to see this year is "The Two Beauties of Qingcheng," which features the White Snake and Xiaoqing, echoing the theme of the Year of the Snake. It is beautiful both before and after the lights are on. The eyes of the green snake and the white snake can move, and all the flowers on their heads can open and close! There are many lantern groups that fit the theme of the New Year, from "Abundant Harvest" at the entrance, to "New Year Baby" further inside, and "Abundance Year After Year," "Welcoming the God of Wealth," and more. Each lantern group is large and looks amazing up close. "Mirage 🏠" is the most beautiful lantern group in my mind, full of details. You can see many elements that appear in traditional culture, such as the 🐉 Azure Dragon, 🐅 White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, Black Tortoise, Kunpeng, Phoenix, and more. "Abundance Year After Year" is very interesting, with bubbles occasionally spouting from the mouths of the koi. "🦚 Peacock Screen" occupies an entire mountain, can you believe it? The peacock's wings change color, and it looks beautiful from both near and far. "Whimsical Ideas," "Wise Dinosaurs," "Punk Twins," and more are all very childlike, and the "Black Wukong" lantern group is even more interesting, so be sure to check it out!

The festival, which will officially open to the public on February 2, is themed 'Splendid, Fashionable, Technological, and Eco-friendly'.

Zigong Lantern Festival is indeed the pinnacle among lantern festivals. Having heard of its fame since childhood, I finally got the chance to go with friends to see the lanterns in Zigong this year! Here's to share my experience and tips for the lantern festival: Chengdu🚅Zigong: Direct high-speed train, just over an hour. After arriving at Zigong station, it's just a ten-minute taxi ride, which is very convenient. ⏰The opening hours of the lantern festival venue are 16:00, but you have to wait until 18:30 for the lights to come on in the park after it gets dark. PS: I suggest everyone to go in early, then walk to the inside, and start taking pictures as soon as the lights are on, as there are not many people inside at that time. If you enter after the lights are on, it's so crowded that it's difficult to take portraits. There are thousands of lantern sets at the Zigong Lantern Festival site, dazzling to the eyes. A few areas that left a deep impression on me are: ✔️The incredibly stunning Dunhuang murals in the Dreamlike Flying to the Sky area, truly amazing! ✔️The Wuhua Tianbao area, which gives a feeling of dreaming back to the Tang Dynasty. ✔️The Salt Street Lantern Market is very lively, with performances, and a strong New Year atmosphere～ ✔️The Pop Mart lantern area, super cute and adorable! This time, the layout of the Zigong Lantern Festival park is circular, so if you don't want to backtrack, you can visit it like this: Gate of Huaxia — Cyber Qin and Han — Dreamlike Flying to the Sky — Nian Beast Celebrating New Year — Glory Canyon — Wuhua Tianbao — Feast of Gluttony — Pop Mart — Joyful Chinese New Year — Flowers in Full Bloom — Brilliant Tribute — Praise of Bashu Civilization Thank you for reading, see you next time👋🏻

The top attraction of the lantern festival, the annual Zigong Lantern Festival is about to begin! The festival is built along the mountain, with lanterns covering the hillside, lighting up the entire slope, The surface of the lake is shrouded in dreamlike mist, with tree-shaped lanterns echoing the hilltop lanterns, creating a stunning spectacle! 🎈At the entrance, there is a huge sundial playing Chinese melodies. As you continue to walk inside, you can see various traditional Chinese elements and well-known stories. Of course, as the Year of the Dragon🐲, countless dragons have transformed into lanterns to come and celebrate! 🔸In addition to the familiar traditional Chinese elements, 🔸there are also themes like Honor of Kings, POP MART, Time and Space Dragon Knights, and many more, 🔸with numerous NPCs supporting the event, cosplay from Honor of Kings, realistic dinosaurs, sparkling armored figures, etc. 🔸Additionally, there are wonderful performances on various stages. 🏮Travel Tips ⭐️Preview from Jan 29 to Jan 31, officially opens on Feb 2 ⭐️Lights on at 18:30, lights off at 22:30, with earlier lighting and later closing on holidays 🚶The whole tour takes about 2 hours

Located in Zigong City, the China Lantern Great World is a feast of the lantern industry. The lanterns inside are exquisitely crafted, with diverse styles and a riot of colors, offering an extremely strong visual impact. Strolling among them gives one the feeling of being in a paradise on earth.

This year, I was invited to see the Zigong Lantern Festival again. Every year during the Chinese New Year period, a dreamlike and bustling lantern city suddenly stands in this small southern Sichuan town. The design of this year's lantern sets is also very impressive, with splendid pavilions and vast waves, finding many themes from traditional culture, and expressing them romantically with modern materials and technology. The sight is dazzling but not chaotic, with giant objects in jubilation, as if the Heavenly Court is celebrating the New Year, a kind of sophisticated color scheme belonging to Chinese tradition. But you should know, those pavilions, mythical creatures, figures, and exotic flowers and plants in the pictures... they are all lanterns, strictly speaking, lanterns. Now it's very convenient to go to Zigong, just 40 minutes by high-speed train from Tianfu Airport. I think everyone should take the time to come and see it, after all, it represents the highest level of lantern-making technology in the world.

The Zigong Lantern Festival is as crowded as ever. I went there after the Lantern Festival last year, and the visitors were endless. I went there on the sixth day of this year, and it was difficult to move. The skills of making lanterns are improving year by year, and the viewing experience for each viewer is different with each year's theme. Compared with this, I prefer last year's League of Legends and Swordsman Love 3 themes! The Zigong Lantern Festival is a peerless existence in China every year! However, compared with its previous sessions, there is still a difference in quality. It is suggested to go and see it at least once every five years, avoiding the Spring Festival holiday and Lantern Festival, the experience of viewing lanterns will be better.

From the outside, you can't see much of the Zigong Lantern Festival, but once you enter, it's a feast for the eyes. The Zigong Lantern Festival is worth a visit, especially with your family or parents. However, you need to buy tickets in advance. We always buy tickets in advance. If you go to the scene to buy tickets, you will definitely not be able to buy tickets. Not to mention, there will be thousands of people grabbing tickets at the same time. I don't mind if you go to the scene to grab tickets. If you want to go, book the hotel in advance, buy the tickets, and then go. Play until 12 o'clock in the middle of the night, then stay in a hotel for one night. The next day, eat some delicious food in Zigong, then drive slowly back to your own city. It's nice to travel leisurely without rushing. Accompany your parents, accompany your family to Zigong to experience the visual impact brought by the Zigong Lantern Festival. I believe everyone will be amazed. Before you go, be sure to prepare a guide!

During the New Year period, a dreamlike bustling lantern city suddenly stands in this small town in southern Sichuan. The design of this year's lantern group is also very powerful, with magnificent buildings and grand scenes, finding many themes from traditional culture, and expressing them romantically with modern materials and technology. It's dazzling, but not chaotic, the giant objects are ecstatic, like the heavenly court celebrating the New Year, it's a kind of high-level color matching belonging to Chinese tradition. But you have to know, those pavilions, water pavilions, mythical beasts, characters, strange flowers and weeds in the picture... they are all lanterns, strictly speaking, they are lanterns. Now it's very convenient to go to Zigong, it's only 40 minutes by high-speed rail from Tianfu Airport.

The lights are really beautiful and there are so many people~ This is also the first time to see the Zigong Lantern Festival after it moved to its new address. I really didn’t expect so many people~ I also made a guide when I went there before. Netizens who had seen it said that parking lot 2 was closer to the main entrance, so I prepared to navigate there, but I was directed to parking lot 5 before I arrived. Maybe it's because there were fewer people in the past few days and you could still choose the parking lot. However, as the number of people has increased in the past two days, you can only park according to the instructions. After parking your car, take the free shuttle bus to the door. However, after arriving at the gate, you still have to walk about four to five hundred meters to get to the real main entrance ticket gate. Regular adult ticket price is 118 yuan. The discount price for Zigong local ID card is 98 yuan, and the student ticket is 80 yuan. Children under 1.3 meters and seniors over 70 years old are free of charge (but starting from the first day of the new year, the adult ticket will increase to 168 yuan/person, and the new year 30 The lights will not turn on). The lantern festival venue is relatively large, with lantern shows based on different themes. It is best not to go together with too many people, because too many people can easily get separated. If you have to take care of everyone, you won't be able to take a good look at the lights. It is best to go see each other separately, and finally decide on a time and gather at the same place. There are many special snacks in the lantern festival venue, so you can have something to eat and take a break. We were relatively lucky. When we entered the door, we saw what seemed to be a drone show, and a flying dragon was displayed in the sky. There are also many large-scale light shows that are quite shocking. In short, the lights are very beautiful, and there are indeed many people. Please take care of the elderly and children.
