As the Spring Festival nears, vibrant lantern displays turn Dalian's night sky into a feast for the eyes. The 2026 Jinshitan Spring Festival Lantern Fair is lighting up the coastal city in northeast China's Liaoning Province.

Giant themed lanterns glow brightly across the park. A cheerful fish-lantern parade winds through the crowds, with visitors joining in for a touch of Chinese romantic charm. A stunning intangible cultural heritage performance adds to the spectacle.

Artists fling molten iron into the air, creating a shower of sparkling "iron flowers" that fall like stars. With warm lights, joyful crowds, and timeless traditions, Dalian's lantern fair is brimming with Chinese New Year spirit.
