Hey friends! Have you ever seen a city light up like magic? In Beijing, the capital of China, something amazing is happening! π
To celebrate Chinese New Year, colorful lanterns are hanging all around the Central Axis of Beijing. In a place called Liulichang, the streets are decorated with lanterns shaped like peonies (that’s a pretty flower πΈ), fish π, and other symbols that bring good luck!
If you look up, you’ll see ancient Chinese poems written on the glowing lanterns above. How cool is that? It’s like walking under a sky full of stories! πβ¨
But that’s not all! There’s also the Changdian Temple Fair going on. It’s a big festival with lots of fun cultural activities. People are enjoying games, performances, and yummy food throughout the holiday period. πΆππ
Doesn’t it sound like an amazing place to be during the New Year? Maybe one day you can visit and see all the beautiful lights and join the fun! π
