It's not that Zigong is unaffordable, but that Suqian's lantern festival is more cost-effective.

Before coming to Suqian, I never imagined that the Spring Festival Lantern Festival here would be so grand.
The giant God of Wealth, the moon next to the red walls and yellow tiles of the palace, the Xiangliu from "Longing for Longing," the Dragon Palace, the mysterious bonfire party...
Various lantern displays, ingenious designs, immersive performances, and not many people! I really want to say,
it's not that Zigong in Sichuan is unaffordable, but that Suqian is more cost-effective.

Tips:
❶The Zhengda Guangming Hall lantern display is right at the entrance, and there are interactive performances of "The Emperor Arrives" during the day. If you want to be the emperor, you can go on stage and interact, but I think it's better to take photos at night, as it gives a sense of traveling back in time to ancient times.

❷The Xiangliu from "Longing for Longing" has also been moved here, standing 12 meters tall with white hair, making it a great photo opportunity.

❸There are more than 20 NPC interactive performances here, and there is a performance schedule at the entrance, so remember to take a photo before leaving. My favorite is "Jianghu Recruitment Order," where you can experience escorting a caravan with NPCs, which is thrilling.

❹There are many activities here, suitable for families, couples, and people of all ages.

❺If you wear Hanfu, you can enter for free.

❻Be sure to stay until 6:30 pm to watch their "Fire God Blessing" performance and join everyone in a hand-in-hand bonfire party, which is a lot of fun.
