Mid-Autumn Festival vibes are glowing brighter than ever in Chongqing! 🌙 The city’s Liangjiang New Area has transformed into a 300-meter-long water lantern wonderland, blending tradition with jaw-dropping artistry. As dusk falls, a colossal 13-meter-wide ‘moon’ rises over the lake, surrounded by playful jade rabbits 🐇, vibrant flying fish 🐟, and thousands of twinkling lanterns that mirror the stars above.
Dubbed ‘Moon Embracing the Milky Way’, this year’s display turns the lakeside into a dazzling river of light visible from the sky ✨. Locals and travelers alike gather to snap selfies, share sweet mooncakes, and soak in the festival spirit. Pro tip: The display runs until December—so add this to your #TravelChina bucket list!
‘It feels like stepping into a fairytale,’ said one visitor, capturing the magic of a celebration that’s lit up Chongqing for generations. Want more culture-meets-creativity? This is where ancient traditions meet Insta-worthy moments. 📸
