All kinds of lanterns are hung high and low on the trees on both sides of the road, classical and concise, which together constitute the New Year atmosphere of "fire trees and silver flowers", "red and red" and "Ambilight", and build a prosperous road for the New Year.

The "intangible cultural heritage lantern rhyme" on the overpass adopts the Fuzi palace lamp in Fuzhou, Fujian Province and the hexagonal palace lamp in Luoyang, Henan. The blessing word palace lamp means praying for blessings, blessings, and everything goes well, and the Luoyang palace lamp means blessing and longevity, auspiciousness. In 2008, Luoyang Palace lantern production skills were included in the national intangible cultural heritage list, and its production includes more than 70 processes such as bamboo selection, bamboo stripping, kneading lamp shape, gluing silk, cloud paper, writing, painting, etc.

This not only shows the deep love and infinite yearning of people from all over the world for the city of Shenzhen, but also reflects their unremitting struggle and courage to realize their dreams. In recent years, the Futian District Party Committee and District Government have attached great importance to the construction of Huaqiangbei Science and Technology, Fashion and Cultural Characteristic Block. Through scientific and technological innovation, fashion iteration, and cultural integration, it has continuously unlocked new ideas, spawned new business formats, and stimulated new consumption, which has injected a strong impetus into the transformation and upgrading of Huaqiangbei, promoted the continuous release of Huaqiangbei's brand value, and rejuvenated the "First Street of China's Electronics".
