The event kicked off with an incense burning ceremony. The parade departed from Xianquan Square, with two lions leading the way and an incense burning dragon following closely behind. Folk allusions, revolutionary stories, animal legends, and "Yizhang Night Stories" were staged one after another. In the Wenxing Pavilion, the Hunan Province Kunqu Opera Troupe performed new folk music, which visitors enjoyed the most.

 

 

Tens of thousands of tourists came to watch the lanterns and visited the market, enjoying the intangible cultural heritage feast together and celebrating the Lantern Festival.
