Recently, a "Lantern Festival Celebration" event was launched in the Yujinxiang Community of Ronghua Street, inviting residents to make lanterns together and celebrate the arrival of Lantern Festival.

To serve more residents, this activity was carried out simultaneously online and offline, attracting more than 200 residents.
