1h Direct! Unlock the Lantern Festival Splendor in Xin Qiji’s Writings with Your Kids
If you only take your kids to one place in Beijing during the Spring Festival, I would choose here!
The old street at night is so beautiful 🎆, with fish lanterns, Kongming lanterns, neon-lit pleasure boats, and dazzling fireworks…
“The east wind at night blooms a thousand trees of flowers, blowing down stars like rain.”
At that moment, the Lantern Festival splendor described by Xin Qiji comes to life.
Bringing your kids here feels like traveling back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty, an amazing experience!
‼️ Three Major Family-Friendly New Year Highlights 🧨

Give your child a fish lantern to carry and walk alongside “ancient people” dressed in traditional costumes along the long street.
With flickering lantern shadows and fluttering robes, at this moment, you and your child become part of a grand historical painting.
Great for photos and letting your kids experience the charm of traditional folk customs.

Join your kids in the solemn lantern lighting ceremony, watching thousands of Kongming lanterns rise into the night sky carrying countless wishes.
Make New Year wishes together, praying for peace and prosperity, dreaming back to the glorious Tang Dynasty.
This warm family moment will surely become an unforgettable memory.
✅ The Tang King’s Eastern Expedition
Look up at a “fireworks-lit night without darkness,” where molten iron at 1600°C turns into a golden rain shower.
