On the evening of December 21, the Magic Lighting Festival kicked off, changing the Happy Valley Chongqing into a sea of lights. Covering an area of 500,000 square meters, it displayed 30 million bright lanterns out of 70 large-scale lighting sets on the themes of “GG Bond”, “Sea World”, “Soul of Peacock” and “Wishing Tree”, offering visitors a visual feast of charming lights and shadows.

On that evening, a group composed of hundreds of happy valley fans ran around Happy Valley Chongqing. Colorful lights were lit one after another, looking so fantastic and beautiful!
