Fish-shaped lanterns are classic props for traditional Chinese folk dances, often modeled after carp. They symbolize blessings for a bumper harvest and good fortune and are widely used in various events, such as folk parades and ceremonies. With a history spanning over 600 years, the fish-shaped lantern was recognized as a provincial-level intangible cultural heritage in 2022. The folk activities they represent have become one of the most highly regarded cultural symbols of Anhui Province.
Nestled in Huangshan city of east China's Anhui Province – known for its stunning scenery, rich cultural heritage and welcoming international services – it stands out as a top destination for overseas tourists looking to explore China.
