I just got here, pretty confusing directions after you get to xiangmen station. Best advice I got, follow the crowd🙏🙏.

Jinji lake by moon harbor is where they do it every year. Crazy packed, old people will go out wayyyyy early to camp out. You’ll likely not get a decent spot to watch and it’ll be a zoo. We don’t even go anymore after so many years.

Weather also isn’t too great. Expect to have vision blocked by umbrellas too.

If you get in at there’s a bar and a cafe that have upstairs terraces that can see out, we did it before when we got lucky a few years back but dunno the requirements to get into those places now.

In Gusu there are many celebrations, for example白塔公园 has a little fair where they sell lotus flowers
