The lanterns of Liaozhai Town are a magical symphony at night.

Stepping into the Zibo Liaozai City Lantern Festival is like stepping into the fantastic and cunning world written by Pu Songling😃. The night is like a huge black silk, gently spreading, and the lanterns, just like the bright pearls on this silk, decorate the city of Liaozai like a dream✨.

Strolling along the winding path, the first thing that catches your eye is a set of lanterns based on the classic story of "Liao Zai Zhi Yi"🎊. In "Nie Xiaoqian", the images of Ning Caichen and Nie Xiaoqian are lifelike. The soft light emitted by the lanterns seems to be telling the story of their love that is different but affectionate and unswerving💕. The breeze blows, the lights and shadows sway, as if the characters in the drama are dancing, interpreting the miserable beauty that remains unchanged for thousands of years.

Walking to the lake, the lake is illuminated with colorful lanterns🌈. Lotus-shaped lanterns float on the water, with a faint light shining in the stamens, just like a smiling fairy. In the center of the lake, a giant dragon lantern is majestic, the dragon's beard is agile, the scales are shining brightly, as if the next second will break out of the water, straight up into the sky, people can't help but be impressed by its exquisite craftsmanship👏.

The architecture of Liaozai City is even more mysterious with the lanterns. Strings of red lanterns are suspended from the flying arches, which complement the ancient architecture. The mottled walls, under the interlacing of light and shadow, seem to emerge as the ghostly fox fairy in the book👻, allowing people to travel through time and space in a trance and listen to those wonderful stories with Pu Songling.

The crowd was bustling, the children laughed and shuttled among the lanterns, holding sugar paintings in their hands, their faces were filled with pure joy😄. The old people, on the other hand, stopped to admire, their eyes full of attachment and gratification for traditional culture. Young people raised their phones to record this beautiful moment, wanting to keep this fantasy forever.

The Zibo Liaozai City Lantern Festival is a feast of light and shadow, a perfect fusion of traditional culture and modern art. It allows us to relive the charm of Liaozai stories in the sea of ​​​​lanterns, feel the rich atmosphere of traditional festivals, indulge in it, and linger😍.
