Since July 2022, Yanqi Lake has started a "night tour". It is open to tourists every Friday, Saturday, Sunday and holidays. The park is closed every Friday 18, Saturday and Sunday 19: 30, and 2130. Take a cruise to visit Yanqi Lake in the evening, and you can enjoy the beauty of light and moon.

Shichahai Lake Island Ice Lantern Carnival is the first time that Shichahai Ice Lantern Carnival put ice sculpture art on the lake island. The works surround the island in the middle of the lake, allowing visitors to see the dazzling ice lanterns from all angles.

Lighting:

According to the folk tradition in China, on this bright night, people light thousands of lanterns to celebrate. Going out to enjoy the moon, lighting and setting fires, solve riddles on the lanterns, spending the Lantern Festival together, family reunion and celebrating festivals are all pleasant. Lantern Festival originated from "Torch Festival". Ancient people held torches in rural fields to drive away insects and beasts.

I hope to reduce pests and pray for a bumper harvest. To this day, people in some areas in southwest China still use reeds or branches as torches on the 15th day of the first month, and hold high in groups to dance in fields or grain drying fields. Since the Sui, Tang and Song Dynasties, it has been in full swing. Tens of thousands of people took part in singing and dancing, from faint to dark.
