Night tours by lantern light explore the town's streets and then head up the Great Wall, from which viewers can see a panorama of the town sparkling below.
The town's dancing fountain lights up with a nighttime show in which water jets and colored lights change with the music, and such 3D images as those of phoenixes are projected on the aerosol.
Visitors can also soak in the indoor and outdoor hot springs. Different pools are different colors to indicate their supposed health benefits.
Indeed, Christmas is just one of many reasons to visit the water town this season.
And those who make the journey will discover it's a jolly place year-round.
