Further in, a lotus pond glows with floating lanterns, while a Dunhuang-themed zone showcases colorful flying apsaras (spirits), giant flowers, and butterfly lanterns. At the center of the park, a massive golden dragon lantern coils in front of the Bailu Pagoda, its head raised high. For younger visitors, a "magic mushroom forest" lights up a corner of the park with giant mushroom lanterns and fairy-tale figures.

The exhibition runs daily from 6 pm to 10:30 pm until Oct 7, and has become a popular evening attraction for locals and tourists.
