December 26, 2018, Snug Harbor in New York, Xi’an City Wall held a special event that introduces how Chinese people celebrate Chinese New Year. In China, enjoying a lantern show is always the memory of New Year celebration. This year, Xi’an City Wall, as a prime partner of New York Lantern Show, invites you to experience an authentic Chinese New Year celebration at Snug Harbor, New York, and welcomes you to Xi’an to enjoy the Xi’an City Wall Lantern Festival and Chinese New Year Celebration locally.
“Xi’an City Wall, Lighting for you!” At the New York Lantern Show, Xi’an City Wall offers a great experience by AR technology and interactive activities from Chinese local traditions. Xi’an is thousands of miles away from New York. However, it is astonishing that visitors can simply use a cellphone to enjoy the Lantern Festival at Xi’an City Wall and experience how Chinese celebrate New Year. Meanwhile, it is also an opportunity for New Yorkers to learn the one-thousand-year history of Xi’an City Wall.
Visitors can also experience making lanterns and writing spring couplets, which are must-do customs for Chinese New Year. Another meaningful event for Chinese New Year is praying a happy life for the coming year. Xi’an City Wall in the lantern show invites visitors writing down best wishes and praying in a Chinese way. The Little Warrior from Xi’an City Wall will also give his best wishes as well as a small gift to every visitor. The Little Warrior hopes everyone can come to Xi’an and physically experience the real Chinese New Year.
The lantern show opens from November 28, 2018 to January 6, 2019. It is definitely a fest for intercultural communication. The weather is cold in New York, but visitors feel quite excited. “I like the show. I can feel how Chinese people celebrate their New Year. The festival or culture is different, but we have the same feelings and emotions. It’s great!” A New York resident tells us, “I like China. I’m planning a trip to China, and of course I’ll visit Xi’an. I want to see the lantern show on a one-thousand-year-old city wall.”
As one of the symbols of Chinese history, Xi’an City Wall is the oldest and well-preserved city wall in the world. The splendid history and magnificent architecture attract tourists from all over the world to witness the wisdom of ancient China.
