This year's consumption season is centered on the Liangma River Cultural and Economic Belt (including Chaoyang Park) and the Beijing Olympic Center, collaborating with major areas such as the Grand Wangjing Business District, Sanlitun, the Central Business District (CBD), Chaowai UIC Block, and Gaobeidian, and more than 10 other key business districts. Various interactive performances will be launched during the period, including the "Magic Cube", a floating stage on the water. At the Beijing Olympic Center, the light shows projected on Yang Mountain, the water curtain and the light show of the Olympic Tower will dazzle visitors once again, alongside a spectacular musical fountain that spans 125 meters in width and rises 30 meters high.。

The Liangma River and its banks and Chaoyang Park will be illuminated in a fabulous fashion. Visitors will be treated to the interactive performances staged on water, which are brought by the "blue whales" and "flying horses" created through technological means, and the top-notch cultural performances such as symphony concerts.

This consumption season also collaborates with the 2025 Liangma River International Art Festival, inviting well-known Chinese and foreign artists and performance groups to stage more than 100 high-quality cultural performances. The largest indoor and outdoor rock climbing complex in Beijing, located in the Olympic Forest Park, will also officially open during the period.
