From China's Lantern Capital
to the World's Festivals

Spark Lantern is a custom lantern manufacturer based in Zigong, Sichuan — the birthplace of the Chinese lantern craft. We design, engineer and build immersive light experiences for theme parks, zoos, botanical gardens, cities and commercial destinations across 20+ countries.

01Heritage

A thousand-year craft,
a modern factory

Zigong has been the heart of Chinese lantern-making since the Tang dynasty. We carry that lineage forward with industrial engineering and global export standards.

TANG DYNASTY · 8TH CENTURY

The Lantern Tradition Begins

Zigong emerges as a centre of lantern craftsmanship — artisans build silk-and-bamboo figures for the Spring Festival lantern fair, a tradition that continues to this day.

1964 · MODERN REVIVAL

Zigong Lantern Festival Returns

The city relaunches its historic lantern fair as a structured public event, establishing the design language and production methods that define the modern industry.

2000s · EXPORT ERA

From Local Fair to Global Stage

Zigong manufacturers begin exporting large-scale lantern installations to Europe, North America and the Middle East — adapting the craft for international venues, climates and safety standards.

02Philosophy

Light is a universal
language

Light is not just illumination. It is a universal language that turns steel structures into living stories — and turns visitors into participants. — Chief Designer · Spark Lantern

Our design philosophy is built on three principles: every figure tells a story, every structure is engineered to be walked beneath, and every installation is designed to be shared.

03Team

The people behind
every piece

A full production chain requires a full team. From concept to crate, every stage is handled by specialists who have built hundreds of installations.
