This winter impress your holiday guests as the World’s Top City Garden celebrates Winter Solstice.

Bring back the light into the longest night of the year with your family and friends.

What is Winter Solstice?

For thousands of years, cultures around the world have celebrated the Winter Solstice – the time when winter reaches its depths, and when days begin to grow longer as nature heralds the spring. In China, the Winter Solstice celebration (dong zhi) is a time when family and friends gather together, exchange gifts, eat, drink and laugh long into the deep dark night. There is a Chinese proverb that signifies its importance:  冬大過年 (Winter Solstice is more important than Lunar New Year).

Dong zhi is linked to the Chinese belief in the balance of the opposing elements of yin and yang. The yin qualities of darkness and cold reach their fullest on Winter Solstice. However, with the fullness of yin comes a turning point – a rebirth – as darkness gives way to the yang qualities of light and warmth, when winter waxes and spring approaches.
