Silkworm Dragon Lights Up Zhejiang’s Lantern Festival 🐉🏮

A tiny village in east China’s Zhejiang Province just leveled up Lantern Festival celebrations with a jaw-dropping twist! 🌕✨ Baquan, known for its silkworm-breeding heritage, transformed 1,200 meters of silkworm cocoon lanterns into a glowing dragon that snaked through the streets on Saturday night. Talk about #FarmToFestival vibes!

Over 600 villagers joined the parade, each holding lanterns shaped like silkworm cocoons. When linked together, they created a radiant dragon stretching longer than 10 football fields! 🐉 The spectacle ended with participants forming concentric circles in a square, the dragon swirling at the center like a scene from a fantasy film 🎥—proving tradition can be pure magic.

Rooted in Baquan’s centuries-old silkworm culture, the dragon parade symbolizes prosperity and community unity. As lanterns illuminated the night, the village showcased how ancient traditions can spark modern wonder. 🌟 Who says history can’t be Instagram-worthy?
