The 2025 Beijing Chaoyang International Light Festival kicked off at Chaoyang Park on Oct 11.

This year's event is themed around togetherness and will run through the end of October. The Liangma River Cultural and Economic Belt and Beijing Olympic Center serve as the two core venues.

The festivities feature nearly 400 cultural, commercial, tourism, and sports events, including tech-integrated projects like a light show parade and illuminated water tours.

The event contributes to Beijing's efforts to develop into an international consumption hub.
