Aiming to establish itself as a cultural and tourism landmark in the Greater Bay Area, the festival will showcase many highlights: a day-and-night full-experience model, technology and light-shadow enhancements, the unique Mazu Blessing landmark, and a novel sea-view lantern experience. These features are designed to provide visitors with a rich and diverse cultural tourism experience.

The festival is now launching its partnership recruitment, offering nine major collaboration categories. These include title sponsorship, advertising placements, brand co-branding, IP content collaborations, product sponsorships, resource exchanges, joint marketing initiatives in Hong Kong and Macao, creative competition partnerships, and group ticket agency cooperation.

By integrating nearly 100 media resources for comprehensive promotion, the Lantern Festival provides an invaluable platform for enterprises to enhance brand visibility and expand market reach.
