Bustling, ceremonial, and family-friendly

This year's lantern festival is themed around the Yangtze River and the myths of Jingchu, with a strong Wuhan flavor that will make locals feel right at home. 🏮 The goddess of Wushan, the god of clouds, and the river god from the Songs of Chu have come to the mortal world to celebrate the New Year. 🏮 The adorable garlic bird, the "Wuhan Peace Bird" that went viral online, is also here, along with the "level test lantern" to test your Wuhan dialect skills. 🏮 The garden party, grand parade, and Hankouli temple fair will keep the whole family entertained. I went to the park before the lanterns were lit and walked around the whole park. I found that the craftsmanship of the masters has improved again, and the details of the lanterns are exquisite and vivid. Walking around the park is like visiting a large installation exhibition. 🔥 No wonder some people say, "This year's lanterns look great even when they're not lit!" 🈵 After the lantern festival, you can also watch the parade and visit the temple fair. 🏮 Hankouli Street has been decorated for the Spring Festival, with various Wuhan snacks gathered together, perfect for the whole family to enjoy the festive atmosphere. 💥 📍 2025 9th Wuhan Garden Expo Park Lantern Festival Visit the gardens during the day, January 28 (New Year's Eve) to February 4 (the seventh day of the New Year), February 12 (Lantern Festival) 🏮 10:30–17:00, NPCs dressed in gorgeous costumes will start the New Year parade and the Joyful Snake Festival, interacting with visitors. * Daytime route: East Outer Square - Hankouli Street - East Gate Stage - Yangtze River Civilization Museum See the lanterns at night, ㊗️ January 28 (New Year's Eve) to February 12 (Lantern Festival), 18:30–21:00, NPCs will perform the lantern lighting ceremony, carrying small lanterns around the park, taking you into the "Floating Light Jingchu" wonder night. * Nighttime route: East Gate Stage - Yangtze River Civilization Museum - Taiyuan Garden - South Square - Zhongleyuan Hankouli Wuhan Garden Expo Park (Wuhan Natural History Museum)
