On that evening, a group composed of hundreds of happy valley fans ran around Happy Valley Chongqing. Colorful lights were lit one after another, looking so fantastic and beautiful! This lighting festival, after three-month preparation, is the creation of more than one hundred inheritors of Zigong intangible cultural heritage. This festival was so bright, magnificent and creative that it had attracted countless tourists here to take photos.
