Super detailed Chengkan Fish Lantern Festival guide! Avoid the crowds and get the best viewing spots!

I've been thinking about the Wan'an Southern Anhui intangible cultural heritage Fish Lantern Festival for a long time✨
There are performances in many places around Huizhou
Zhanqi, Chengkan, Xidi... finally chose Chengkan!
Not only are the fish lanterns beautiful here, but the ancient village also has a special charm~

🚗 Transportation tips: Drive to the South Gate parking lot (Chengkan Town, Huizhou District, Huangshan City), parking fee is 10 yuan/day
Little tip🧐: It’s recommended to return the same way! If you take the outer road, you have to make a big detour to get back to the parking lot

🎫 Ticket tips:
In the first half of the year, the full ticket is 107 yuan
During National Day, a friend said it’s split:
Ancient village 47 yuan, Yongxing Lake 65 yuan
If you only want to watch the fish lantern performance, just buy the Yongxing Lake ticket!
The key point!! The fish lantern performance is free!😍

🔥【Best viewing spots for the fish lanterns】are here!
1️⃣ Second floor of the shops behind the Autumn Drying Plaza
- Requires purchase

2️⃣ First row by the lake
- Right across is the fireworks launch site
- The fish lanterns pass through the corridor on the lake

ps: You can even touch the fish lanterns if you turn around~
But be careful not to fall into the lake!

⏰ Performance time tips:
Sometimes it starts late
Remember to find a stone pier to sit and wait~
