BEIJING, Feb. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — As dusk settled over Pinghu on February 7, the lakeside paths of the East Lake Scenic Area began to fill with visitors drawn toward the opening night of the 2026 Jinpinghu Lantern Show, an annual Lunar New Year event that transforms the waterfront into a landscape of light after dark.

 

At 6:30 p.m., a formation of drones rose into the night sky above the Li Shutong Memorial Hall, a familiar landmark, signaling the start of the evening. Moments later, an announcement marked the official opening of the show, and 45 thematic lantern installations—along with surrounding decorative lighting—were illuminated at once, casting color and reflection across the lake and setting the tone for the holiday season in Pinghu.

Spread across roughly 72,000 square meters, this year’s exhibition is laid out across four themed zones—among them sections called “Elegant Pinghu” and “Lanterns of Fortune”—its lanterns and ambient lighting shaped by a team from Zigong, a city long associated with the craft. Large-scale installations are interspersed with thousands of smaller lights, forming a nighttime circuit that comes into view gradually as visitors move through the grounds, guided as much by the contours of the landscape as by the displays themselves.

As outlined by the Pinghu Culture and Tourism Investment Group, the opening ceremony is only the beginning of a broader program that will continue throughout the Lunar New Year period. Plans include special performances on select evenings, as well as a recurring “Greeting the God of Wealth” parade that winds its way across the site during the holiday. During the Lantern Festival, a separate program focused on traditional arts—featuring performances such as Pinghu-style pipa music—is set to add another layer to the nighttime experience.

Taken together, these elements turn the Jinpinghu Lantern Show into more than a single evening spectacle. Over the course of the New Year celebrations, the lakeside paths become a place for unhurried walks, chance encounters with music and performance, and moments of pause beneath lantern light, as Pinghu marks the season through a blend of landscape, craft, and long-standing custom.

OTSU, Japan, Feb. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — In January 2026, a strong cold wave brought much more snow to Japan than usual. Shiga Prefecture, located right next to Kyoto—one of Japan’s most famous tourist destinations—is home to Lake Biwa, the largest lake in Japan. By late January, the lakeshore becomes a beautiful world of white snow. Nearby ski resorts also have plenty of natural snow. For these reasons, this area is now a very popular winter destination. Among the ski resorts around Lake Biwa, Biwako Valley stands out as especially popular. You can enjoy the amazing lake view and play in the snow at the same time. It is easy to visit, taking less than one hour from Kyoto.

[Left Image] At Biwako Valley, you can visit
[Left Image] At Biwako Valley, you can visit “Biwako Terrace” for a breathtaking view. The contrast between the blue water of the terrace pool and the deep blue lake in winter is amazing. This beautiful view is definitely worth the trip to the mountain top. [Top Right Image] At the BBQ Restaurant & Bar “HALUKA,” you can enjoy delicious dishes such as steaks and hamburgers made with Omi beef—one of Japan’s top three wagyu brands—while taking in the stunning view of the pure white ski slopes. [Bottom Right Image] Ogoto Onsen is one of the best hot spring destinations in the Kansai region. It is only a 30-minute drive from Biwako Valley. This hot spring has a long history of about 1,200 years. It is famous as a “skin-beautifying spring” because the water is very gentle on your skin.

Biwako Valley is very popular in the Kansai area because it is easy to visit. You can reach it from Kyoto Station without any transfers: simply take the JR Kosei Line to Shiga Station. From Shiga Station, it is only a 10-minute bus ride. Moreover, From the Biwako Valley Ropeway Sanroku Station to the 1,100-meter summit, it takes only 5 minutes. The temperature at the top is more than 5°C lower than at the bottom. It feels like a different world, where a beautiful white snow landscape welcomes you.

As soon as you leave the Summit Station, you will see “Biwako Terrace.” If you take a photo of the terrace pool and Lake Biwa together, you can capture an endless blue view. It is very popular on social media. In winter, the contrast between the white snow and the blue lake is beautiful. This view alone is worth the visit to the mountain top.

Biwako Valley offers a wide range of well-equipped facilities within the ski resort. Near the Sanroku Station, you can rent snowboards, skis, boots, and warm winter clothes. Your clothes will get wet when you touch the snow, so we recommend renting or wearing proper winter gear before you go to the top. The resort has many areas for everyone: professional courses, practice slopes for beginners, a dedicated “Snow Land” area for fun snow play, and zones for enjoying sledding.

The “Zipline Adventure” is open during both the green season and the winter season. On this attraction, you can slide down a wire rope with a pulley while looking at the grand Lake Biwa below. It is just as popular as skiing. Even if you are not good at sports, you can enjoy the speed and thrill safely.

If you want a more special view, take the 4-person chairlift to “Café 360” at the highest point of Biwako Valley. This terrace opened last year. From there, you can see a beautiful world of white snow and look down at Lake Biwa from the very top.

“Omi Beef” is the most famous local specialty of Shiga. It is one of Japan’s top three wagyu beef brands. Many people visit from overseas to enjoy its soft texture and rich flavor that melts in your mouth. At “Grill Dining & Bar HALUKA,” you can eat Omi Beef steaks and burgers while looking at the snowy slopes.

At “Terrace Café,” you can enjoy special desserts found only here. Try the gelato made with Omi black tea “Wa-kocha” and milk. Shiga is the birthplace of Japanese tea, so this flavor is very special to this area. You can enjoy Omi tea at the restaurants and cafés. You can also buy it at the gift shop to take home as a souvenir.

There are many other great places to visit near Biwako Valley. Only a 30-minute drive away is “Ogoto Onsen,” one of the most famous hot spring destinations in the Kansai region. It started about 1,200 years ago and is famous as a “skin-beautifying spring” because the water is very gentle on your skin. Relaxing in a hot spring to warm up your body after playing in the snow—this is the best way to enjoy winter in Japan.

“Mangetsuji Ukimido” is a historic temple built over Lake Biwa. It is one of the best photo spots in Otsu City. From Hieizan Sakamoto Station on the JR Kosei Line, you can find the path to the Enryakuji Temple, a World Heritage site. If you’d like to appreciate the grand scale of Lake Biwa from the water itself, we recommend the “Michigan Cruise,” a scenic sightseeing boat tour on the lake. On the open deck, you can feel the breeze and enjoy a relaxing trip around the southern part of Lake Biwa. Watching the white, snow-covered mountains from the boat will surely be a wonderful memory.

WUZHONG, China, Feb. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — At 12:23 on February 8, two distributed synchronous condensers supporting the Wuzhong No. 64 Photovoltaic Power Station were successfully commissioned and connected to the grid, with all operating parameters meeting design standards. This milestone marks a key step forward for the Wuzhong power grid in enhancing voltage support capacity, improving grid stability, and ensuring efficient new energy accommodation.

Known as the “intelligent voltage stabilizer” for new energy stations, synchronous condensers are core equipment designed to address voltage fluctuations and grid stability challenges posed by the volatility and intermittency of photovoltaic and other renewable energy generation. The newly commissioned units boast a rated capacity of 20 Mvar, with advantages including fast dynamic response, strong reactive power regulation capability, and excellent overload performance.

To ensure the project’s smooth commissioning, State Grid Wuzhong Power Supply Company took early intervention and full-process tracking measures. A special acceptance team, consisting of technical backbones from dispatching operation, equipment maintenance, electrical testing and other professional fields, was established. In strict accordance with the commissioning and startup plans issued by State Grid Ningxia Electric Power and the Dispatching Control Center of State Grid Wuzhong Power Supply Company, the team completed a full range of verifications, including static inspection, no-load test, short-circuit test, grid-connected load test, and 168-hour trial operation.

During the test period, the synchronous condenser system operated stably, with outstanding performance in key indicators such as voltage support, inertia response, and harmonic suppression. It successfully passed the grid acceptance and was officially put into operation.

The commissioning of the distributed synchronous condensers will effectively enhance the dynamic reactive power support capacity of the Wuzhong No. 64 Photovoltaic Power Station, optimize power quality, and strengthen the grid’s anti-disturbance ability. It will also significantly reduce the risk of equipment disconnection caused by sudden changes in light intensity and load fluctuations, providing a solid guarantee for the safe and stable operation of substations and reliable power supply.

Furthermore, this achievement will further improve the regional power grid’s capacity to accommodate new energy, facilitate the efficient integration of more clean power into the main grid, and accelerate the green transformation of the energy structure in Wuzhong.

Authorities Intensify Crackdown on Illegal Opium Poppy Cultivation in Northern Laos

Lao authorities destroyed illegal opium poppy plantations in Yod Ou district on 4 February 2026.

Lao authorities have stepped up enforcement against illegal opium poppy cultivation in northern Laos, destroying more than 13 hectares of illicit crops in early February, according to official reports.

The latest crackdown began in Phongsaly Province, a region historically linked to opium production. On 4 February, authorities in Yod Ou district uprooted 21 poppy plots covering 9.8 hectares in Phan village. 

The operation involved provincial public security forces, national defence units, and local officials, who also conducted awareness sessions with villagers on the risks and legal consequences of opium cultivation. All fields were fully destroyed to prevent harvesting or replanting.

On the same day, authorities in Long district, Luang Namtha Province, eliminated two cultivation sites spanning 2.96 hectares. Enforcement teams travelled through mountainous terrain and crossed streams, taking nearly three hours to reach the remote locations before cutting and uprooting the crops

Earlier, on 30 January, officials in Khoun district, Xieng Khouang Province, destroyed an opium plantation covering more than 4,000 square metres, or 0.4 hectares. Those responsible were detained and face legal action under Lao law.

Despite ongoing enforcement, opium cultivation remains a persistent challenge in northern Laos. Phongsaly Province continues to feature prominently due to its geography and long-standing role in regional drug production.

According to the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime’s World Drug Report 2023, Laos cultivated around 5,000 hectares of opium poppy in 2023, down from 5,700 hectares in 2015.

Regional trends, however, raise broader concerns. Myanmar overtook Afghanistan as the world’s largest opium producer in 2023. The Myanmar Opium Survey 2025 reported a 17 percent increase in cultivation, rising from 45,200 to 53,100 hectares, the highest level in a decade.
