2. Introduction to the Twin Cities Lantern Festival

Highlights of this Twin Cities Lantern Festival:

For this year’s Xi’an and Anning Twin Cities Linked New Year Lantern Festival, both parties selected their own characteristic lantern groups to communicate with each other and produce them in the corresponding areas. Make a presentation. The lamp groups collide with each other in design, integrating cultural elements representing Nanjing and Xi'an into the lamp groups of the two places, showing the profound historical heritage of the two ancient capitals. There are also intangible cultural heritage handicrafts, intangible cultural heritage performances, special food and other projects. Whether in Xi'an or Nanjing, you can see the unique elements of both places.
