Jingtong Electronic Sky Lantern Hall puts on an LED light show every hour at round clock from 4pm to 7pm on business days. In addition to showcasing the origin of the sky lanterns and the features of Pingxi, it also provides customized "LED Sky Lanterns" - visitors can write or paste their wishes and photos on the sky lantern postcards. Then, they can see their wishes rise into the sky on the main sky lantern at the plaza. This a completely different experience from flying traditional sky lanterns. The postcards can be taken home as souvenirs.
