Lantern Festival Brings Zigong Economy Alive
The 29th Zigong International Dinosaur Lantern Festival was featured in authoritative media such as People's Daily, Xinhua News Agency and China Media Group, and was broadcast on many media and columns, including the Spring Festival Gala of the Year of the Rabbit on CCTV and news broadcast. The Lantern Fair has been praised on various platforms. Some netizens praised Zigong Lantern Fair as the world's lantern Fair.
During the seven-day Spring Festival holiday of the Year of the Rabbit, tickets for the lantern fair were sold out for six days, and scenic spots issued several notices limiting the flow. The activity attracted 309,400 tourists in total, with tourist reception and ticket revenue up 41.39 percent and 60.51 percent, respectively, compared with last year's Spring Festival.
Colored lights represent light and hope. This year's Spring Festival is the first Spring Festival after China's epidemic prevention and control has entered a new stage. Zigong Colored Lanterns have been entrusted with a new mission of The Times: to make the city "light up" at night, make business "fire", make wealth "prosperous", and make people "gather", so as to show the beauty of Chinese Spring Festival culture, art and life to the world.
"The Zigong Lantern Fair is getting more and more exciting each year, and the attraction of Zigong is getting stronger and stronger year by year." Luo Ping, a native of Chongqing, is a big fan of Zigong Lantern Fair. He has come with his family many times to see the fair and eat delicious food. He said that the charm of Zigong is not only because of the exquisite lanterns, but also because of the profound interpretation of lanterns and innovative ideas of the whole city. The warm and hospitable Zigong people always bring warmth to people.
