Guangzhou Conghua Kicks Off First Spring Lantern Festival

City Life| As night falls outside No. 8 Warehouse Outlets Town in Conghua District, a towering Qilin lantern sculpture rises up the steps, its eyes shimmering with light — as if leaping straight out of Shan Hai Jing(Classic of Mountains and Seas). On the evening of January 17, the lighting ceremony of Conghua’s first Spring Festival LanternFestival was held here, officially unveiling a spectacular light-and-shadow celebration themed “A Journey of Blessings through a Mythical Realm”. #citylife

夜幕降临，广州市从化区广州8号仓外，一只高达数米的“麒麟”瑞兽灯组昂首踏阶而来，眼中流光溢彩，仿佛从《山海经》中跃然而出。1月17日晚，2026年从化首届“流溪烟渚”新春灯会亮灯仪式在此举行，一场以“山海灵境祈愿记”为主题的光影盛宴正式拉开帷幕。
