During the Spring Festival, especial the Lantern Festival, a City Wall Lantern Show is held on the Xian City Wall every year. At that time, hundreds of finely-made colorful lanterns are hung up on the city wall, which makes the city wall more brilliant and shiny especially at night. Besides lanterns, many Shaanxi folk arts are also displayed like puppet shows, shadow shows and Qin Opera shows, Shaanxi folk calligraphy and painting shows.
