We have partnered up with Zigong Lantern Group, the leaders in Chinese Lantern Festivals worldwide to bring this to life.
Luminosa will take guests on a memorable journey through light across 13 of the park’s 18 acres.

Every meal is handcrafted with unhurried care. It’s the sort of pride and passion we find to be all too rare these days.

But what sealed the deal for me was their concierge, Charlote "Charlie". She was fabulous. Since I did book this trip last minute, I hadn't had any time to plan any activities. She was a lifesaver! Everything she recommended was great!
