The story

Beijing Shijingshan Spring Festival Carnival in Shijingshan/Beijing

Beijing's oldest amusement park hosts a Spring Festival carnival blending Chinese temple-fair traditions with European-style castle décor and float parades, running across seven themed zones with craft stalls, food, dozens of existing park rides, and a night-time illuminated Lantern Garden Tour themed to the lunar year.

European-style castle facades and exotic float parades share ground with red lanterns and traditional Beijing acrobatics at Shijingshan Amusement Park, the city's oldest amusement park, whose Spring Festival carnival has been described as a westernized temple fair for deliberately mixing those two visual languages.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The self-described westernized temple fair format is the distinguishing feature: European castle-style architecture and float parades sit inside a Chinese Spring Festival fair alongside red lanterns and traditional acrobatics, a hybrid rarely attempted at Beijing's more classically Chinese temple fairs

02

The mystery stays covered

Running the event inside the country's oldest amusement park means visitors get access to more than fifty standing amusement rides in addition to the seasonal carnival programming, and the night-time Lantern Garden Tour adds a large-scale illuminated display distinct from daytime stall-browsing
