Admiring the Lantern Show at the People's Park in Chengdu, China

Built in 1911, and located in central Chengdu, the People’s Park was the first public park in the city. It is free and open to visitors to the park. The People’s Park is not a tourist attraction but a good place to observe and learn about the relaxing life style of the Chengdu residents. There are many places to visit and lots to see in the park such as the tea houses where some daily live shows are held, bonsai garden, special seasonal displays, children’s entertainments as well as other arts, fitness and recreational activities carried out by adults to the park. .

When we visited the People’s Park around Chinese New Year time, there was a colourful displays of huge paper lanterns throughout the park. It was a delight to children and grownups alike when these lanterns were lit up in the evening. We loved these colourful lanterns which brightened up the park after the sun went down. This beautiful park seemed magical and came alive with huge lanterns placed all over the park .

Not only were there various performances at the teahouses inside the People's Park, there were also meals, snacks and beverages offered to audiences while watching the shows. It was truly an enjoyment for all our senses. RT, People's Park, Chengdu, China
