The light show, organized by Chongqing Daily Media Group and Chongqing Garden Expo, officially started at 6 pm on Jan 1 in Chongqing Garden Expo Park, in preparation for the upcoming Chinese Spring Festival.
There is a total of 51 sets of lights in the park, the result of a month's worth of meticulous, pain-staking work from a group of 110 talented artisans.
The show's opening was attended by thousands of citizens eager to catch a glimpse of the park's beauty. When the evening lights are lit, spectators are thrown into a glowing wonderland of lanterns and inflatable sculptures.

The "auspicious dog praying for luck" in the main square is the highlight of the show, as he blesses each visitor with good tidings and a happy new year.
The lively music, koi fish, lanterns, camellia, and Chinese knot combine to create a distinct atmosphere of warmth and familiarity that perfectly encapsulates the Chinese Spring Festival.
Lighting arrangements like "Chongqing scenery" and "Swan lake" demonstrate the resplendent scenery and unique character of Chongqing. The exquisite craftsmanship leaves visitors in complete awe.
