Yinchuan, the capital of northwest China's Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, kicked off 2026 celebrations early with a breathtaking lantern show that opened this weekend. The Flower Expo Park has transformed into a luminous wonderland, featuring over 100 larger-than-life installations that blend tradition with modern artistry. 🎇
Highlights include a jaw-dropping set of 13-meter-tall galloping horses 🐎 and lanterns depicting scenes from Chinese mythology. Divided into five themed zones, the show offers Instagram-worthy backdrops at every turn—perfect for those “New Year, New Me” posts! 📸
Local student Zhang Wei told us: “It feels like walking through a fairy tale. The dragon lanterns especially remind us to embrace 2026 with courage!” The event runs through early January 2026, giving travelers ample time to experience this cultural spectacle. 🌟
