As Spring Festival celebrations reach their peak across the Chinese mainland, Ningxia and Anhui provinces have unveiled spectacular lantern displays capturing the spirit of the Year of the Horse. In Guyuan City's museum square, eight intricately designed equine lanterns – each representing unique regional cultural motifs – form a glowing centerpiece attracting nightly crowds.
Dangshan County's pear orchards have been transformed into an immersive lightscape, with synchronized illuminations dancing across fruit-laden branches. Traditional fish lantern processions accompanied by rhythmic drumming continue through local villages, symbolizing prosperity wishes for 2026. Cultural preservation experts note these displays maintain centuries-old craftsmanship techniques while incorporating modern lighting technology.
