The nights are alive with color in Shenyang as the Fangcheng Scenic Area transforms into a dazzling wonderland for the Lantern Festival! 🌕 Thousands of handcrafted lanterns light up Liaoning Province, blending traditional motifs with futuristic designs. Think dragon-shaped lanterns 🐉 glowing beside neon-lit ice sculptures ❄️—a literal blast from the past meets TikTok-worthy vibes.
This year’s festival features six immersive fairs where culture nerds can geek out over intangible heritage crafts, foodies can devour street snacks 🥟, and tech lovers can marvel at AI-powered light installations. Pro tip: Snap that perfect Insta-worthy shot under the 10-meter-tall ‘Lucky Rabbit’ lantern before the crowds arrive! 🐇✨
Local resident Zhang Wei told us: ‘It feels like the whole city is celebrating together—tourists, families, everyone.’ With temperatures hovering around -10°C, the warmth comes from steaming cups of sweet rice wine and the joy of collective awe. ❤️🔥
