Xuan'en Night Scenery

Xuan'en night scenery is dazzling and charming, full of ethnic customs and a lively atmosphere. Centered around the Xianshan Gongshui Tourist Area, it showcases a unique charm. Here is a detailed introduction:

- Riverside Scenery: Gongshui River is the core of Xuan'en night scenery. At night, the river sparkles under the lights. The "Dragon Tour Gongshui" boat lights shine brilliantly, like golden shadows winding over the water. Riverside buildings such as the Miao ethnic clock tower, Tujia Moda building, and Dong ethnic wind and rain bridge are bathed in golden light, with flying eaves and upturned corners glowing, and the corridor pillars reflected in the water, blending ancient charm with modernity. In addition, a 70-meter-high musical fountain dances to the melody, adding a dreamy color to the night view.

- Street Nightscape: Xinglong Old Street leisure district consists of "three streets, three bridges, two buildings, and one corridor." At night, it is brightly lit, with bustling markets, elegant landscapes, and tidy streets complementing each other. The district features intangible cultural heritage exhibition halls and specialty shops, where lighting combines with architectural styles and intangible cultural heritage characteristics, enhancing artistry and local flavor. At Zhaiyu Square, the outdoor music festival "Beng Xiandi," which integrates Tujia folk customs, kicks off lively, along with immersive intangible cultural heritage performances and other activities that attract many visitors.

- Night Activities: Xuan'en offers a rich variety of nighttime activities. During the Spring Festival, there is a New Year Lantern Festival featuring dragon lantern parades, iron flower performances, water fire pots, fire skirt dances, and more, along with the Jufu Lantern Shadow Show and "Qiqiao Changkong" landscape displays. In summer, the "Dragon Tour Gongshui" night tour allows visitors to raft on bamboo rafts along the river, enjoy the night scenery on both banks, and watch Tujia and Miao ethnic song and dance performances, experiencing unique nighttime entertainment.
