In terms of color selection, Chinese red is used as the main color, and is embellished with warm colors such as red, yellow, and gold, so that citizens and friends can feel the warmth of home and the warmth of the city.

The city’s main streets mainly use lantern lighting, tree hanging devices, tree-wrapped lanterns, etc. to create linear landscapes. A total of more than 250,000 lanterns, lighting and various decorations have been hung, about 2 million linear meters of tree-wrapped lanterns have been arranged, and more than 220 landscape sketches have been set up. 74 overpasses have been decorated, 2,809 landscape lighting facilities have been opened, 12 group nightscape lightings and 7 laser projections have been installed.

In addition, in order to create a good “doorstep” landscape, the Municipal Urban Management Committee and various districts combined with the three-year action mission of refined environmental management of back streets and alleys, widely mobilized the masses, pasted blessing characters and hung lanterns at the door of their homes, and decorated “small shops” along the streets. “Beautiful” festival landscape.

  “Chinese red” and “ice blue” complement each other

Strings of red lanterns swayed in the wind at the entrance to the ice rink in Zizhuyuan Park, lighting up the splendor of winter. “It feels like the New Year!” The skater said with a smile that was reflected red by the red lanterns, looking very happy.

The 2024 Spring Festival landscape layout pays special attention to the “three combinations”, that is, the Spring Festival landscape layout is combined with the business district, combined with ice and snow sports, and combined with traditional folk cultural activities of the temple fair and lantern festival, which is not only conducive to the prosperity of the business atmosphere, but also can increase the number of amusement parks Festive atmosphere.

For example, Qu Lijian said that diversified and characteristic layouts have been carried out in 22 commercial blocks and shopping malls around Wangfujing, Xidan, Qianmen Street, Sanlitun, International Trade Center, and Outlets. In Shichahai, Olympic Central Area, Yanqing Haituo Mountain, Blue Harbor, Taoranting, Zizhuyuan and other ice and snow sports venues, “Chinese red” and “ice and snow blue” complement each other, and hang lanterns, landscape sketches and other methods to highlight the New Year The ice and snow sports culture in the taste.

  Naked-eye 3D shows staged in many places

“Look! Panda!” A naive panda poked its head from the corner of the building and immediately attracted the attention of passers-by. The children cheered and stopped, staring at the panda cartoon on the big screen and yelling and jumping. It turns out that this is a naked-eye 3D animation specially created by a Beijing department store before the Spring Festival.

It was learned from the Municipal Urban Management Committee that in order to increase the ornamental value and interest of the Spring Festival landscape layout, the city will increase its innovation efforts in 2024 and use 5G, AR, naked-eye 3D display and other technologies to display novel Spring Festival landscape layouts such as electronic fireworks.

On the streets of Wangfujing Street, a landscape sketch of “Peace in all directions” composed of the word “福”, a blessing sign, a traditional Chinese folding fan and other elements has become the latest popular photo spot. In fact, this is a new work after “reusing the old and transforming it”. The landscape sketch designer said that in 2023, this landscape sketch was placed on Qianmen Street. After the Year of the Rabbit decoration in the sketch was removed in 2024, new elements such as wave patterns were added and re-placed on the streets of Wangfujing for display. .

In order to highlight the principles of green environmental protection and full utilization of old materials, the city has used previous landscape layout materials, lanterns, component materials, landscape sketches, sculptures, etc., to renovate old buildings through innovative designs such as changing layout points, replacing layout elements, and adding lighting projections.
