In the heart of Changzhou, a city in Jiangsu Province, Hongmei Park has transformed into a luminous wonderland. As night falls, clusters of cube-shaped lanterns adorned with festive greetings light up the park’s main pathways, creating dazzling “blessing trees” that captivate visitors.
The lanterns, hanging like glowing fruits from tree branches, bathe the surroundings in a warm, vibrant glow. Against the backdrop of the majestic Tianning Pagoda—one of the tallest pagodas in the Chinese mainland—the scene is nothing short of magical.
Locals and tourists alike stroll beneath the canopy of lights, snapping photos and sharing wishes for good fortune. “It’s like walking through a dream,” says Li Wei, a university student from nearby Nanjing. “The lanterns bring a sense of joy and hope to everyone who visits.”
The illumination not only adds brilliance to the cold spring evenings but also highlights the rich cultural heritage of Changzhou. The combination of modern lighting and traditional architecture offers a unique experience that resonates with people of all ages.
Hongmei Park’s radiant display has quickly become a must-see attraction, symbolizing unity and the sharing of blessings within the community. As the lanterns continue to shine, they light the way toward a season filled with warmth and togetherness.
