The story

Tang Paradise Spring Festival Fair in Xi'an

Tang Paradise's Spring Festival Fair in Xi'an recreates imperial-style Chinese New Year ceremonies across five themed sections, including Water Borne Lanterns and Folk Culture zones, running the traditional first-lunar-month lantern festival period and pairing its park displays with a parallel Chang'an Lantern Festival installation at Xi'an's historic City Wall.

Poetry from the Tang dynasty, composed more than a thousand years ago, is rebuilt into walk-through illuminated lantern scenes at Tang Paradise, where a recent Chang'an Lantern Festival edition transformed more than three hundred classic poems into immersive light-and-shadow installations spread across the park alongside a parallel display at Xi'an's City Wall.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Converting more than three hundred specific classical Tang-dynasty poems into immersive, walk-through light-and-shadow lantern installations is a distinctively literary curatorial concept few lantern festivals attempt, most of which rely on generic auspicious imagery rather than specific historical texts

02

The mystery stays covered

Pairing Tang Paradise's built imperial-garden recreation with a parallel display at Xi'an's actual surviving historic City Wall gives visitors two genuinely different architectural backdrops, one reconstructed, one original, within a single linked festival
