Peony lanterns light up Qianmen Beijing Fun for Lunar New Year!

🕯The Lunar New Year lights are already on in downtown Beijing. The last piece of the puzzle, the giant peony lantern at Beijing Fun, has also been lit, illuminating this intangible cultural heritage Lunar New Year. It's bustling and full of traditional Chinese aesthetics! 🏠This year, the Lunar New Year lights in the Qianmen area are even more colorful than last year. Many areas are decorated with festive lights, whether on the streets, in the alleys, or at the markets, creating a lively atmosphere. Of course, there are more tourists this year than last, which may affect your view and photos. 🎈The lights in the Beijing Fun shopping area are more concentrated this year and look better than last year, especially the giant peony lantern, which is very eye-catching. It's said to be 10 meters in diameter and is fixed between two buildings with iron chains. The surface is adorned with large ink peony flowers, creating a stable painting style. When the lights are on, the surrounding retro archways and auxiliary buildings make it more three-dimensional and layered. As you continue to stroll, you'll see many fish lanterns, flashing lights, and other traditional lights, illuminating the area. It's time to start exploring and eating. It's both beautiful and fun! 📆When is the best time to visit? The official website mentions that it may be open until the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, but I estimate it will last until the Lantern Festival. ⏰What time is best to visit? 6 pm sharp! The peony lanterns light up! They light up later than the other lights, so visit other places first and come here last. 🌈Estimated time needed? If you're just taking photos and strolling around, about 1 hour. 👣Recommended route and check-in spots? The lights are mainly concentrated in Langfang Toutiao and Dashilan. There are also lights on Qianmen Street, but they're not as good as here. Note that after the lights are on, Beijing Fun is one-way. To see everything, you'll need to make a big loop, from south to north, then west, and back to the east. ⭐More descriptions of the surrounding scenery? If you have time, you can visit the nearby markets or restaurants for more fun. 📷How to take beautiful photos: On the second day of the Lunar New Year, there were still many tourists in Langfang Toutiao, but you can still take good photos from different angles. The same goes for portraits. A 24-70mm lens is perfect. 👍How to buy tickets: Free 🚗How to get there: Bus is direct, but if you take the subway, you'll need to walk for a long time. 🔥Tips before visiting: 1. It's very cold after the lights are on, so dress warmly. 2. The lighting time may change, so this is just for reference. 3. Visit with nearby attractions for efficiency. 📍Location: Near Langfang Toutiao, Xicheng District ⏰Opening hours: From January 28. The official website says until the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, but it may be extended.
