As night falls, the park comes alive with a dazzling array of vibrant, colorful lights. Strolling through the park, you'll be greeted by the luminous glow of ancient poetry and a myriad of illuminated shapes, including wishing bottles, butterflies flitting through the forest, jellyfish floating by, and sacred deer roaming about. The harmonious interplay of lights and shadows amplifies their allure, immersing you in a grand, magical dreamlike experience. To improve visitors' experience, the park has invited inheritors of intangible cultural heritage to give live iron flower firework shows. Additionally, grand circus performances and children's carnivals have been arranged, catering to the delight of families with young ones.
