The same intangible cultural heritage fish lanterns as Yuyuan Garden are here at Gongchen Bridge!

Lantern festivals are a romantic tradition in China. The intangible cultural heritage fish lanterns on the west side of the bridge are reminiscent of the dream world in Big Fish & Begonia. Combined with the traditional custom of "walking for luck," this has become a popular spot for photos. The west side of the bridge is a must-see! Fish lanterns are also known as peace lanterns, happiness lanterns, and auspicious lanterns. In traditional culture, fish symbolize abundance, good fortune, and prosperity. The big fish travels through time and space to bring good luck to those who see it. Suddenly, you find yourself in the dream world of the big fish, "The jade pot turns, and the fish and dragons dance all night." If you want to take photos, we recommend coming at dusk for the best atmosphere. The lanterns are lit at 5:30 pm! In addition, Gongchen Bridge is close to the time-honored Fanghuichun Hall, as well as the Umbrella Museum and Fan Museum, which became popular after appearing on the CCTV Spring Festival Gala and Henan Spring Festival Gala. Be sure to check them out! Since you're here to "walk for luck" on the Grand Canal, you can also visit the Hangzhou Arts and Crafts Museum and the Canal Museum!
