Zhangyuan becomes a 'butterfly garden' for Chinese Valentine's Day
Thousand of roses and butterflies pop up in Zhangyuan, as a celebration for the upcoming Qixi Festival, which is also known as Chinese Valentine's Day.
The butterfly symbolizes happiness in Chinese love stories. In Lancôme's new exhibition "Butterfly Garden," the historic buildings and alleys are decorated with golden butterflies and pink roses, presenting a magical view of the Qixi Festival from Chinese fairy tales.
A Qixi-themed makeup room is set up at the No. 6 building during the exhibition. Visitors can try on limited lipstick colors and make up for the festival, taking photos with roses and butterflies, and try special drinks. They can even receive complimentary themed gifts.
The exhibition will run through August 22, the day Qixi Festival falls on. Don't pass up this romantic garden date on Chinese Valentine's Day.
