More than 3,000 exquisite lanterns light up the night sky, presenting a glittery atmosphere for visitors. In addition to the colorful lanterns, there is also a Spring Festival market, hustling and bustling with excitement over holiday traditions, such as New Year paintings, sugar-coated figurines and sugar-coated haws on a stick.
