Have you ever seen a town that looks like a fairy tale? 🌟 In Chongqing, a city in southwest China, there’s a place called Ciqikou Ancient Town. As the Spring Festival approaches, the whole town lights up with colorful lanterns! 🏮🐉
The streets are decorated with glowing dragon lanterns that twist and turn above your head. It’s like walking through a tunnel of light! The lanterns aren’t just decorations; they tell stories and bring good luck for the new year.
Ciqikou has been around for over 1,000 years! That’s really old. The town is famous for its traditional houses and ancient temples. It’s built right into the hills and by the river, so the buildings blend in with the natural landscape.
During the Spring Festival, which is also known as Chinese New Year, families come to Ciqikou to enjoy the festive atmosphere. There are food stalls with yummy snacks 🍡, shops with cool souvenirs 🎁, and performances like dragon dances 🐲.
If you ever get a chance to visit Chongqing, make sure to check out Ciqikou Ancient Town, especially during the Spring Festival! It’s a magical experience you won’t forget. ✨
