The Mid-Autumn Festival, a cherished tradition, comes alive in Chongqing's Liangjiang New Area with a mesmerizing water lantern display. Stretching 300 meters, this luminous spectacle features iconic symbols such as a full moon, jade rabbits, and graceful flying fish, capturing the essence of the season.
As dusk turns to night, a stunning 13-meter-wide moon silently rises, casting a radiant glow over the lake's surface. The vibrant flying fish and adorable jade rabbits shimmer alongside brightly lit lanterns, creating a magical atmosphere. Thousands of lanterns from the sky converge to form a winding river galaxy, lighting up Chongqing's night skyline with dazzling brilliance.
This year's theme, \"Moon Embracing the Milky Way,\" invites visitors to immerse themselves in the enchanting display, soak up the scenic beauty, and celebrate the festival's joyful spirit. Running until December, the water lantern display is a must-see attraction for locals and travelers alike, offering a unique blend of tradition and artistry.
