During the holidays, Guangzhou not only has the gentle moonlight, but also the warmth of passing on the fire. A series of highly ceremonial Guangfu folk activities were staged in turn, using the most authentic "fireworks" to interpret the profound connotation of Mid-Autumn Festival reunion.

As the "Ceiling of the Mid-Autumn Festival Ceremony" in Guangzhou, this year's lantern festival is the 58th. 38 large and medium-sized lantern groups light up the night sky in Xiguan. The giant "red litchi" themed lantern group cleverly combines Lingnan's delicious fruits and intangible cultural heritage lantern making techniques, becoming a "reunion landmark" for citizens to rush to check in.

The "Mid-Autumn Lantern Festival" was held in Liede Village, Tianhe District. The 20-meter-long giant fish lanterns meandered in the night, with meandering light, implying "to be the best", attracting many citizens and tourists to check in; Guangxiao Road in Yuexiu District was transformed In the "Handmade Lantern Street", thousands of goldfish lanterns and lotus lanterns light up at the same time under the arcade, showing the nostalgia of the past; Yongqingfang in Liwan District creates an immersive Xiguan night tour experience with the theme of "Full Moon Xiguan·Domination".

In addition, 16 villages in Tanbu Town, Huadu District collaborated with multiple points to simultaneously launch the "Burning Grain House" activity. The villagers built a tower-shaped "Grain House" with bricks and tiles, and firelight shot out from the holes in the tower, like bright stars, expressing people's good wishes for a good harvest.

When the flowers are full and the moon is full, it’s the right time to travel. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, major scenic spots in Guangzhou cleverly blend the Lingnan landscape with the Mid-Autumn moonlight to provide tourists with an immersive holiday experience. Among them, Canton Tower has transformed into a "Moon Viewing Platform in the Clouds" and collaborated with Guangzhou Restaurants to create a theme activity of "Traveling in Cantonese and Exploring the Mid-Autumn Festival". Visitors interact with the "Mooncake Man" NPC on the 450-meter-high viewing platform, overlooking the lights of thousands of houses in Guangzhou, and enjoy the romance in the clouds.

The Baiyun Mountain Scenic Area held the theme activity of "Moon Full Moon·Mid-Autumn Festival". Activities such as riddles and pot throwing, folk music performances and moon cake DIY were staged in turn, allowing citizens to feel the blend of nature and humanity while climbing up to look at the moon.

According to statistics, the 31 cultural tourist attractions in Guangzhou that were monitored received a total of more than 2.84 million tourists during the holidays.
