At Beijing World Park, the ongoing 2026 Jingcai New Year Lantern Carnival brings this tradition to life. The event beautifully combines thousand-year-old intangible cultural heritage lantern-making skills with the park's miniatures of global icons. Using modern light and shadow effects, it reinterprets traditional Chinese New Year customs and brings new vitality to China's rich cultural heritage.
