Historic meets hype! 🏮 Hangzhou’s Dadou Road Historic and Cultural Block dazzled visitors last night with its 2026 New Year lighting ceremony, blending tradition and modern charm. The January 17 event – timed perfectly for the upcoming Year of the Horse and Spring Festival – saw the main street and 11 themed check-in spots glow to life alongside vibrant lion dances.
Locals and travelers alike wandered through the warm golden light, snapping selfies with shadow-play backdrops that amplified the area’s ancient architecture. One visitor told us: 'It’s like walking through a living postcard – you can practically feel the good fortune for 2026!'
Pro tip for night owls: The installations will stay lit through Lunar New Year, making this a must-see for anyone road-tripping through East China this season. 📸✨
