Beijing’s Liangma River – nicknamed the city’s answer to the Seine – has shaken off its winter hibernation! 🌸 The iconic waterway in Chaoyang District relaunched its popular cruise service this weekend with a splashy reopening ceremony, blending cultural heritage and modern vibes.
Dubbed the 'China-Chic Culture Festival,' the event dazzled visitors with neon-lit riverbanks, folk music performances, and a mesmerizing fish lantern parade 🏮 – an intangible cultural heritage practice. Food stalls and pop-up markets lined the banks, while boats glided past art installations and light projections worthy of a K-pop music video backdrop 🎶.
Pro tip for travelers: Night cruises now feature LED light shows reflecting off the water – perfect for those golden-hour selfies 📸. With cultural activities planned through May, this might just be 2024’s most insta-worthy spring destination in the Chinese capital!
