It is really beautiful. Golden dragons sometimes gather into pagodas and sometimes turn into "8" shapes, all at once, giving tourists a blessing of Lantern Festival with a strong folk flavor.

Thousands of beams of light and shadow spread out one after another, with the change of music, one after another bloomed, changing into the shape of "willow in the forest", "hundred flowers blossom" and "bumper harvest of wheat ears" Applause and cheers continued, and tourists took out their mobile phones to take pictures and videos and recorded this wonderful moment for 40 minutes.
