Step into a moonlit world of tradition and creativity as the Chengdu Art Museum transforms into a Mid-Autumn Festival wonderland! 🌕 With over 3,000 years of history, Chengdu – China’s 'land of abundance' – is blending ancient charm with modern artistry for this year’s celebrations.
CGTN reporter Guo Tianqi takes us behind the scenes where lantern-lit alleys recreate historic markets. Visitors craft paper rabbit lanterns 🐇, decode ancient poetry scrolls 📜, and admire artworks depicting festivals from the Tang Dynasty to today. ‘It’s like time travel with a mooncake in hand,’ laughs one college student attending the event.
Beyond the glittering displays, the museum highlights how the festival’s spirit of family reunion ❤️ connects generations. Interactive exhibits let global visitors video-call loved ones under a digital ‘shared moon’ – a nod to how tech bridges cultures in our digital age. 🌍
Pro tip for travelers: The museum’s limited-edition panda-themed mooncakes 🐼🥮 (with Sichuan pepper hints!) are selling faster than you can say ‘中秋快乐!’
