These installations not only embody the eco-conscious concept of “turning waste into treasure,” but also revitalize ordinary materials through intangible cultural heritage craftsmanship, artistically conveying the cultural philosophy that “all things have spirit, and masterful artistry unites them.”In the “Imagine the Future” section, the dreamy lantern display “Fantasy Lantern Collection” draws inspiration from children’s artwork, featuring nearly 6,000 paintings by kids worldwide.

The lantern festival breaks from traditional viewing modes, focusing on “tech-enhanced engagement” by incorporating AI interaction, smart touch controls, and light-responsive effects that visitors can manually trigger. A virtual digital human alliance and AR-integrated robotic dinosaurs create cross-era interactive experiences. Cutting-edge technology seamlessly connects viewing, playing, sensing, and reflecting – revitalizing millennia-old lantern traditions for the digital age.Additionally, the 300m-long “Salt Street Lantern Market” has been transformed into a themed photo street, featuring diverse photo spots including classical pavilions, cyber light installations, and folk markets. Costume and prop rental services are available to meet various photography needs. The entire park offers a 360-degree immersive performance experience, with NPCs playing dedicated scripted roles. The storyline unfolds naturally along the route through interactive dialogues and fun tasks, creating a deeply immersive experience where “every step reveals a new scene, and every scene tells a story.”As countless lights illuminate the new year across this ancient land, it transforms into a flowing epic of light and shadow. This is not merely a meeting of craftsmanship and technology, but a profound dialogue between timeless heritage and future aspirations.Let’s anticipate together how this luminous spectacle will brilliantly reimagine ancient tales through light and shadow, allowing the celestial river of Chinese heritage to flow gently within every lantern’s glow.
