Who said that the lantern festival can only be watched at night? When the sun shines gently, the colorful lights awaken in the daylight, intertwining with the misty water mist, it forms a hazy fairyland. There is no dark night, but richer color details; there is no need to wait for the stars, the sun is the best colorist. From now until September 30, the 2025 "Qingdao Summer" Art Lantern Festival breaks through tradition and launches a fantasy garden party, inviting citizens and tourists to enter a "light and shadow poetry realm" that dares to open during the day when the sun shines brightly.

　　Hark light and shadow meet natural sunlight

　Sunlight color tuning, fog-forest filter! Come to the 2025 "Qingdao Summer" Art Lantern Festival, and the daytime films are very good here! From now until September 30, the Lantern Festival will launch a fantasy garden party. From 9:30 to 16:30 every day, this dreamy area is open to the public, with a ticket price of 20 yuan, and invites you to be in the beautiful fantasy woven by light and shadow and nature.

　　The reporter learned that this fantasy garden party had four highlights. According to the relevant person in charge of the Lantern Festival, first of all, the park innovatively turns on the light and shadow art + natural sunlight mode. "We hope to break people's inherent impression of 'the lantern festival must be watched at night' and innovatively turn on the daytime lantern festival mode." The relevant person in charge of the lantern festival introduced, "The lamp group shows more color details in the sunlight during the day, and matched with the fog forest device to form the Dingdar effect. The light and shadow are hazy like a fairyland, making the color of the lamp group present a delicate texture different from that at night."

　　Staff introduced that this fantasy garden tour has unique advantages in checking in and has become the second highlight of the daytime lantern festival. The first thing citizens and tourists who enter the park feel is a refreshing coolness. The air is filled with fine water mist, which is a fog-forest device carefully set up by the park. Water mist is not simply used to cool down, it is also a natural filter for this daytime lantern festival. When the fog forest is intertwined with the lamp group and the green plants, the light and shadow become soft and hazy in it, and the entire park seems to be shrouded in a layer of dreamy gauze. The outline of the lamp group is looming in the fog, and the green plants are even more green. Citizens and tourists walk in it, as if they are swimming in a painting. Every step seems to be in a fairyland, and you can easily "produce" without lighting equipment at night!

　　"The advantage of taking photos during the day here is too obvious," said a young tourist who was taking photos with his mobile phone happily. "The light is abundant and soft, the picture is particularly transparent, and the color saturation is high. There is no need for professional night lighting equipment at all."

Experience slow time in "Light Viewing Area"

If visual shock is a big surprise for the garden party, then the "slow life" experience you feel here is its deeper charm. On the large soft lawn in the garden city area, the park has uniquely added many lazy sofas to form a unique "light viewing area". There is no hustle or bustle of the city here, only the breeze, the fragrance of grass and the occasional bird song. "Lying flat and watching the lanterns during the day, stealing half a day of leisure" has become the best annotation for this area. Many young people lie on the sofa and choose to lie down in the most relaxed posture - looking up at the blue sky and white clouds and colorful lights to experience a rare and slow time of their own.

　　In addition, compared with traditional night lantern festivals, the daytime fantasy garden party has an unparalleled advantage in experiencing comfort. The climate in early autumn is gradually cooler, the temperature is suitable during the day, the breeze is gentle, and the body feels very comfortable. It is especially suitable for parent-child families. Parents do not need to worry about their children's hard work in staying up late. They can safely let their children run and explore in the fairy tale world under the sun. At the same time, it also takes care of those who are afraid of crowding and are uneasy about the night environment, providing them with a safe, relaxed and pleasant viewing option.

　　At this moment, we are here in the 2025 "Qingdao Summer" fantasy garden party. This is not only an innovative art lantern festival, but also a special gift from a city to everyone. Take your relatives and friends to the lantern festival and gain a unique poetry and leisure!
