Beijing's Changping District's Spring Festival Lighting Receives Praise from CCTV

At 6:00 AM on February 15, 2026, CCTV's "Morning News" focused on Beijing's Spring Festival lighting, showcasing the festive atmosphere of Changping District and its vibrant urban landscape to the nation.

This year's Spring Festival lighting in Changping District is themed "Prosperity and Peace, Flourishing Scenery." The design extracts the core meaning of "prosperity, peace, and harmony" from the name "Changping," deeply integrating elements of the Year of the Horse zodiac, lilies, and apples-local products-to create a distinctive visual symbol for the New Year. The district has constructed a comprehensive lighting network covering 29 key nodes and 29 main and secondary roads, encompassing Changping urban area, the Huilongguan-Tiantongyuan area, the Future Science City, and the "Two Valleys and One Park," achieving overall unity while showcasing the unique characteristics of each area.

At key nodes, the Xiguan Roundabout features a "Ten Thousand Horses Galloping" theme, while the Huilongguan Double Dragon Pillar Stele embodies the "Spirit of the Dragon and Horse," adorned with 28 horse-shaped light installations, creating a magnificent spectacle. Red and gold lanterns, Chinese knots, and dynamic light and shadow intertwine, illuminating the city skyline and streetscape.

This lighting arrangement showcases Changping District's unique cultural heritage, conveys best wishes for the New Year, and creates a warm, elegant, and vibrant festive environment for citizens and tourists, becoming a new landmark for the city during the Spring Festival. Its inclusion in a prestigious CCTV report is not only a strong affirmation of Changping's efforts in creating a festive atmosphere but also further enhances the district's reputation and visibility.

Next, Changping District will continue to improve its urban quality and cultural atmosphere, presenting a more vibrant city and a stronger Spring Festival spirit, continuously enhancing the public's sense of gain, happiness, and security, welcoming the Year of the Horse amidst dazzling lights, and embarking on a new journey of prosperity and peace.
