Last Thursday night, the Dragon Eye rooftop Ferris wheel in Changzhou, Jiangsu Province lit up the sky with a dazzling love-themed light show for Qixi Festival, the Chinese mainland’s traditional Valentine’s Day. 🎡✨
Rising 120 meters, this landmark transformed into a romantic canvas. Pulsing beams shaped hearts, shooting stars, and digital love symbols, creating an Insta-worthy spectacle that had visitors snapping pics nonstop. ❤️📸
Qixi Festival celebrates the legendary reunion of the weaver girl (Zhinü) and the cowherd (Niulang) across the Milky Way. It’s the Chinese mainland’s own star-crossed Valentine’s tale, and modern takes mix tradition with tech—think lights, AR filters, and virtual love notes. 🌌💌
Young couples and groups of friends gathered around the wheel, capturing the glowing romance on their phones and sharing moments on social media. From TikTok dances to Reels, #DragonEyeLove and #QixiLights trended fast. 📱💃
Whether you’re into culture, tech, or just love a good date-night backdrop, this light show nails it. Keep your eyes peeled for more festival magic and get ready to light up your own love story next Qixi! 💖
