What travelers say:
I have always wanted to see the big world of Zigong lanterns. When I went last year, it happened to be in the overhaul. This year, I used May 1 to see it. The time was not coincidental and it rained heavily, but the audience felt spectacular, shocked, and the sky was not beautiful. It was worth seeing. Humanities, traditions, innovation, and indifference.

China Lantern World offers four surprises for May Day
When the splendid world of animation meets the colorful Zigong lanterns, the wonderful chemical reaction will lead tourists to break through the dimensional universe and start a journey of adventure and fantasy... With the May Day holiday approaching, the China Lantern World is about to "launch new products" - from April 26 to May 5, a series of trendy activities with the theme of "National Comics Trend and Lanterns" will be staged at the China Lantern World, with a variety of gameplay such as close interaction with top domestic animation IPs, animation markets, and "May Day" customized performances. Visitors can shoot related check-in videos in the park and have the opportunity to win a prize of 10,000 yuan.
Surprise 1: Colorful lights and customized performances
To welcome the "May Day" holiday, the China Lantern World upgraded and maintained the lighting sets, and added many "May Day" characteristic elements - the highly anticipated "Nian Beast" lighting set was replaced with a new national trend outfit, which is very fashionable; to pay tribute to the workers, the park specially added a "May Day" theme lighting set; the mountain laser light show has been upgraded with light and shadow to bring more shocking visual effects to tourists.
In addition to the wonderful renewal of the lighting group, the performances are also well prepared: from April 26 to May 5, the "May Day" customized drone show and Phoenix flapping-wing aircraft show will use the night sky curtain and technology as a pen to show the phantom in the sky; on April 26, April 27, and April 30 to May 4, five major theme performances will be staged in the park in turn - in the "Beginning of Civilization" light area, feel the joy and vitality of the welcoming encouragement; in Square No. 2, experience the unique charm of traditional intangible cultural heritage performances; in the "Happy Chinese New Year" light area, enjoy the "Beauty of Labor Reflects Harvest" acrobatic performances; in the "Salt Street Light Market", interact closely with the anime COSER and feel the cross-dimensional romance. In addition, during the "May Day", the Attraction will also launch a "May Day" theme concert on the main stage, allowing tourists to experience the warm atmosphere of the festival up close.
Surprise 2: "White + Black" comic exhibition opens the era of multi-dimensional synchronization
When the "second dimension" joins hands with the "world's best lantern", and when the "day + night" long carnival feast begins, what kind of sparks will collide? From May 1st to 5th, the "May 1st" Light and Shadow Animation Carnival of China Lantern World was held grandly.
This anime carnival not only breaks the tradition of anime exhibitions being held mostly during the day, but also creates a "white + black" anime carnival feast based on the rich cultural connotations of the park and the "World's No. 1 Light" scene, and also introduces the top domestic anime IPs and national style show IPs from the western region. At that time, many models will wear gorgeous Hanfu and present a series of wonderful national style shows for tourists; the "Zhaiwu Lianmeng" girl group and other COSERs will bring energetic singing and dancing performances.
Top domestic animation IPs and talents will be present. The top domestic animation IP "Painting Jianghu: The Bad Guys" will exhibit classic characters, leading visitors into the mysterious world of Jianghu heroes through superb acting skills and realistic modeling; popular guests "Internet Hot Tang Monk" Tang Tang Yudi Gege, COS masters Xiaoyu, Ye Ming, and Yui Goldfish will land at the China Lantern World and interact closely with fans.
This event also specially customized the "Lantern Brother and Lantern Sister" interactive IP for the China Lantern World. It consists of a local "lantern expert" and a "Northeast heroic sister" CP pair who interact with tourists every day, and an original "guess the lantern song" customized by a famous domestic musician will be performed.
When the lights come on, under the illumination of thousands of exquisitely crafted colorful lanterns, there are rich and colorful activities such as COSER interactive parades, anime markets, traditional Chinese style fun games, and national trend performance interactive shows. The dreamlike light and shadow animation journey is even more beautiful.
Surprise 3: Get a gift when you enter the park, and win a prize worth 10,000 yuan
From May 1st to 5th, visitors who take photos and check in with COSERs at the "Welcome Check-in Point" in Sundial Square will Complimentary a small light and shadow gift (2,000 pieces/day). In addition, the "Light and Shadow Ambassador Short Video Grand Prix" is also being actively recruited. During the event, shoot and publish a light and shadow check-in short video in the park (must wear Hanfu or COS costumes), bring the topic "#国漫风潮彩灯伴行", and be comprehensively evaluated based on the number of likes and playbacks of the video. The winner can receive a cash reward of 500-10,000 yuan.
Surprise 4: Pay tribute to workers, add free ticket policy for "model workers"
In terms of ticketing, the Attraction has specially prepared "May 1st" Light and Shadow Animation Carnival tickets for tourists who love animation (adult tickets are 128 yuan/ticket, student tickets are 80 yuan/ticket), and they can enter the park at 13:00 on the same day to enjoy the "white + black" carnival feast; the Attraction lantern festival tickets are open at 17:00. In addition to continuing the preferential policies of the 30th Zigong International Dinosaur Lantern Festival (adult tickets are 118 yuan/ticket, Residents tickets are 98 yuan/ticket, student tickets/elderly tickets are 80 yuan/ticket, veteran tickets are 70 yuan/ticket, two adults and one child package is 280 yuan/ticket, one adult and one child package is 180 yuan/ticket), in order to pay tribute to the workers, a new "model worker" free ticket policy has been added. Central, provincial, and municipal model workers can enter the park free of charge with their model worker certificates.
The unique gameplay of this animation carnival, "lantern viewing + anime exhibition", not only retains the essence of traditional lantern viewing, but also incorporates elements of modern animation culture, providing tourists with a double feast of vision and culture. Whether you are a Z generation who likes animation or a tourist who loves traditional culture, you can find your own fun here. Come to the China Lantern World to enjoy the "May Day"!

Overseas Chinese town · The 26th Zigong International Dinosaur Lantern Festival Photos: Trip Moments
Zigong Lantern Festival! Truly the pinnacle of lantern festivals in China! Here's a guideZigong Lantern Festival is indeed the pinnacle among lantern festivals. Having heard of its fame since childhood, I finally got the chance to go with friends to see the lanterns in Zigong this year! Here's to share my experience and tips for the lantern festival: Chengdu🚅Zigong: Direct high-speed train, just over an hour. After arriving at Zigong station, it's just a ten-minute taxi ride, which is very convenient. ⏰The opening hours of the lantern festival venue are 16:00, but you have to wait until 18:30 for the lights to come on in the park after it gets dark. PS: I suggest everyone to go in early, then walk to the inside, and start taking pictures as soon as the lights are on, as there are not many people inside at that time. If you enter after the lights are on, it's so crowded that it's difficult to take portraits. There are thousands of lantern sets at the Zigong Lantern Festival site, dazzling to the eyes. A few areas that left a deep impression on me are: ✔️The incredibly stunning Dunhuang murals in the Dreamlike Flying to the Sky area, truly amazing! ✔️The Wuhua Tianbao area, which gives a feeling of dreaming back to the Tang Dynasty. ✔️The Salt Street Lantern Market is very lively, with performances, and a strong New Year atmosphere～ ✔️The Pop Mart lantern area, super cute and adorable! This time, the layout of the Zigong Lantern Festival park is circular, so if you don't want to backtrack, you can visit it like this: Gate of Huaxia — Cyber Qin and Han — Dreamlike Flying to the Sky — Nian Beast Celebrating New Year — Glory Canyon — Wuhua Tianbao — Feast of Gluttony — Pop Mart — Joyful Chinese New Year — Flowers in Full Bloom — Brilliant Tribute — Praise of Bashu Civilization Thank you for reading, see you next time👋🏻ElizabethHolmes50
The Zigong Lantern Festival must be what it looks like when the Heavenly Court celebrates the New YearThis year, I was invited to see the Zigong Lantern Festival again. Every year during the Chinese New Year period, a dreamlike and bustling lantern city suddenly stands in this small southern Sichuan town. The design of this year's lantern sets is also very impressive, with splendid pavilions and vast waves, finding many themes from traditional culture, and expressing them romantically with modern materials and technology. The sight is dazzling but not chaotic, with giant objects in jubilation, as if the Heavenly Court is celebrating the New Year, a kind of sophisticated color scheme belonging to Chinese tradition. But you should know, those pavilions, mythical creatures, figures, and exotic flowers and plants in the pictures... they are all lanterns, strictly speaking, lanterns. Now it's very convenient to go to Zigong, just 40 minutes by high-speed train from Tianfu Airport. I think everyone should take the time to come and see it, after all, it represents the highest level of lantern-making technology in the world.VoyagingDreamer

I have always wanted to see the big world of Zigong lanterns. When I went last year, it happened to be in the overhaul. This year, I used May 1 to see it. The time was not coincidental and it rained heavily, but the audience felt spectacular, shocked, and the sky was not beautiful. It was worth seeing. Humanities, traditions, innovation, and indifference.
It is the third time to come to the light meeting. This time I took my parents to travel. The strength of the elderly for the five-hour + light meeting is indeed a bit difficult. We have been shopping for about 3 and a half hours and have not finished visiting all the attractions. Some regrets. The entire scenic spot can be described as beautiful, there will be different sceneries every year, and it will keep pace with the times, and it is suitable for all ages.
I have to say that it is a sincere slow light meeting. Every year, the light meeting will give people surprises. The only drawback is that it is too late before and after the New Year. There is no more time to visit the light meeting. Time is tight and the task is heavy. I hope that the future light meeting can be considered open to the outside world in early December, so as to divert the flow. And have more time to enjoy the big production
168 tickets are absolutely worth it. The tickets booked in advance. The Spring Festival knows that there are many people in the crowd. There are several parking lots. It is more convenient to see the No. 2 parking lot on the Internet. It is more than four o'clock. Parking has to be turned for a long time. The toys are really everywhere. There are many children's toys in the parking lot. Remember to bargain. Be sure to remember to bargain all the way to the gate to eat, toys, eat and play, with children suggest to rent a cart, 80 caps, can liberate your hands, we eat in, with children can go to the love channel, this is really intimate, around six o'clock lights, More and more people, no need to walk at all, completely squeezed to take pictures to walk side by side, do not go in the middle, otherwise all the people who take pictures are queuing up, go to the toilet, anyway, all kinds of queues, you can go later, we go in at five o'clock to play until eleven o'clock, ten o'clock people are less, and do not squeeze, Instantly asked, I felt that it was better to go later. I took pictures of every place. There were many themes. The king (unfortunately I didn’t play this game, and I couldn’t recognize one of the characters). Shengshi Feitian, dinosaurs and drone shows, Phoenix Feitian, really super super super shocking pat along the way, Don't be too happy to play
Zigong attractions are very concentrated, convenient to play and there are lights to see at night, and the salt dishes are also well-deserved. The second time I went to Zigong to see the light show, this year I feel more atmospheric and beautiful. I personally feel that it is better to add some more characteristics and elements of Zigong's local side. ～
Zigong Lantern Festival is very worth watching, I will definitely recommend it to friends! I have been here three times, this time exceeding expectations, integrating modern technology, showing the prosperity of the motherland, great 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Zigong Lantern Festival is definitely a world-class, and modern technology integrates together to let traditional culture shine a different style in the new era, children's wonderful ideas are also made into colored lights, looking forward to the next light festival.
