As the Chinese saying goes, "The New Year lasts until the Lantern Festival." On the eve of this festive occasion, a spectacular cultural convergence unfolded at Tianchi Lake in Xinjiang. The scenic area hosted a magnificent cultural feast featuring the Yingge dance from Guangdong in southern China, a national intangible cultural heritage. With painted faces and mallets in hand, performers delivered powerful and precisely synchronized moves, immersing visitors in the vibrant charm of Lingnan culture. The celebration continued with Hui dances, lion dances, martial arts displays, and dynamic ethnic performances, lifting the atmosphere to new heights. Though thousands of miles apart, these northern and southern cultural heritages blended seamlessly here, offering tourists an unforgettable cultural experience to welcome the Lantern Festival.
