Longqing Gorge Ice Lantern Carnival is a much-anticipated annual event in Yanqing, Beijing. This year's session will begin on the evening of January 10 and run through February 28.

The lantern area, the ice lantern art area, and the ice gorge region make up the majority of the about 500,000-square-meter area used for this carnival.
