在临汾，洪洞大槐树景区推出“古槐祈福·元宵同乐”主题活动，游客参与“十二生肖贺新岁”闯关，或在抖音、小红书发布景区视频，即可领取一碗热气腾腾的元宵，寓意团圆美满。同市的乡宁云丘山景区则在康家坪设置元宵体验摊位，现场直播手作元宵全过程，让游客沉浸式感受传统手艺的温度。

In Linfen, the Hongtong Big Pagoda Tree Ancestor Memorial Park launches the “Ancient Tree Blessing · Happy Lantern Festival” themed event. Visitors can participate in the “Twelve Zodiac Signs Celebrate the New Year” challenge or post videos of the scenic area on Douyin or Xiaohongshu to receive a steaming bowl of Yuanxiao, symbolizing reunion and perfection. In the same city, the Xiangning Mount Yun Scenic Area has set up a Yuanxiao experience stall in Kangjiaping, live-streaming the entire process of hand-making Yuanxiao, allowing visitors to immersively feel the warmth of traditional craftsmanship.

长治振兴小镇更别出心裁，元宵节期间特供“灯糕”，游客可举着灯糕烤旺火，外焦里糯，寓意“一年日子节节高”，成为当地一道独特的节日风味。

Changzhi Zhenxing Town is even more ingenious, specially offering “Lamp Cakes” during the Lantern Festival. Visitors can hold the Lamp Cakes to roast over a blazing fire; crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, it symbolizes “a flourishing life year by year,” becoming a unique festive flavor in the local area.
