The Chang'an Lantern Festival Opens Early on New Year's Day

In 2026, the Chang'an Lantern Festival will break tradition for the first time and grandly open early on New Year's Day. As the core carrier of Xi'an's "City of Tang Poetry" cultural brand, this year's festival centers around the theme of "City of Tang Poetry," creating a uniquely distinctive "Poetry Lantern Festival" that allows visitors to immerse themselves in the dazzling splendor of the Chang'an Poetry Road Lantern River starting from New Year's Day. The Chang'an Lantern Festival originates from the Lantern Festival customs of the Tang Dynasty's Shangyuan Festival. After a millennium of accumulation, it has become Xi'an's most iconic cultural IP. In recent years, the festival has broken through a single viewing mode, forming a three-venue linkage pattern with the Tang Paradise, Xi'an City Wall, and Daming Palace National Heritage Park, integrating modern technologies such as AR immersive experiences and 3D projection. Visitors here can not only admire the magnificent lanterns but also experience the perfect fusion of poetry and light through modern technology, enjoying a cultural feast that transcends time and space. Come to the Chang'an Lantern Festival to jointly paint the immersive scroll of the "Poetry Road Lantern River" and feel the unique charm of Chinese culture!
