About This Experience
Create your own illuminated masterpiece at the birthplace of Chinese lantern festivals. Learn traditional bamboo framing, silk stretching, and LED lighting techniques from artisans who have built lanterns for the world-famous Zigong Lantern Festival. You'll construct a small lantern (40-60cm) featuring traditional Chinese motifs—dragons, phoenixes, or flowers—that you can take home and illuminate.
Cultural Significance
Zigong has been China's lantern capital for over 800 years. The annual Zigong Lantern Festival is a national intangible cultural heritage event that drew 200 million yuan in ticket revenue over 112 days in 2025. The craftsmanship combines traditional bamboo framing with modern lighting technology.
