【Beijing’s New Night Tour Landmark!】
Who says amusement parks are only for daytime? Shijingshan Amusement Park’s newly upgraded "Jingcai Lantern Festival" is redefining Beijing’s night tour scene! With an extended 85-day run, you can enjoy it from now until the end of October. Start your adventure tonight!
🌟 Five Must-Experience Highlights:
1. Immersive Light and Shadow Journey: A dazzling 350,000-square-meter world with seven themed exhibition areas, blending intangible cultural heritage lanterns with cute characters, Guochao (Chinese trendy culture), steampunk, and many other youthful cultural elements. The 10-meter-high "Smart Childhood Dream" lantern and the "Dreamy Seven-Color Ice Cream" lantern in the cute creatures night zone are popular photo spots for families.
2. Stunning Intangible Cultural Heritage Iron Flower Show: Twice nightly at 8 PM and 9 PM (performed as soon as rain stops), artisans splash molten iron into the air, creating golden flower showers dozens of meters wide. The best viewing spot is by Xingmeng Lake.
3. Steampunk Mechanical Beetle Parade: A giant 3-meter-tall metal mechanical beetle with roaring gears, glowing red eyes, and every step shaking the ground, crossing the dimensional wall between cyberpunk and retro-futurism.
4. Hanfu Parade and Guochao Experience: A team dressed in gorgeous Hanfu (traditional Chinese clothing) parades through the park, with brilliant lantern lights complementing the costumes. In the Guochao Hundred Plays themed area, you can experience the collision of intangible cultural heritage charm and trendy culture.
