Folk performances, lantern riddles, do-it-yourself lantern-making, a garden party, a photography contest and other activities will also be held during the show.

Agricultural and related products produced in Daxing district will also be on display.

Since the Tang Dynasty (618-907), lighting lanterns at Spring Festival has become a tradition for Chinese people.

The Rose Theme Park, the venue of the show, is the first park devoted to roses in Beijing.

It hosted the 2016 World Federation of Rose Societies Regional Convention and is home to the world's first rose museum.

Tickets to the show can be booked on Qunar, Ctrip, Meituan and other platforms, or purchased at the park ticket office.
