费城华埠中国灯笼节展出正酣：凭票根享华埠商家优惠、熊猫促销联动社区
10月25日，费城华埠的中国灯笼节继续在富兰克林广场展出，费城华埠发展协会同期推出的“熊猫促销”联动活动也在进行中。华埠发展协会介绍，灯笼节期间，游客凭灯笼节门票票根或电子收据，可在参与活动的华埠商家享受专属折扣与优惠，参与商家分布在礼士街、亚区街、9街、10街与樱桃街一带，包括多家华人餐馆、茶馆与商铺，意在把灯笼节的客流引向华埠的日常商家。华埠发展协会的月度通讯还提到，协会正为华埠商业走廊的中小商家提供支持，灯笼节与夜市等活动是华埠全年最重要的引流节点。对费城的华人社区而言，灯笼节不只是一场灯光展，更是华埠商家在秋季旺季抱团取暖的方式：游客看完灯、走进华埠吃饭购物，社区的活力才能真正留下来。
Philadelphia Chinatown's Chinese Lantern Festival in Full Swing: Ticket Stubs Bring Discounts at Chinatown Shops as 'Panda Promotion' Links the Community
On October 25, the Chinese Lantern Festival in Philadelphia's Chinatown continued its run at Franklin Square, and the "Panda Promotion" tie-in run by the Philadelphia Chinatown Development Corporation was also under way. According to the Chinatown Development Corporation, during the lantern festival visitors can present a lantern-festival ticket stub or e-receipt to receive exclusive discounts and offers at participating Chinatown businesses, which are spread around Race Street, Arch Street, 9th Street, 10th Street and Cherry Street and include many Chinese restaurants, tea houses and shops — an effort to channel the lantern festival's crowds toward Chinatown's everyday businesses. The corporation's monthly newsletter also mentioned that it is supporting small and medium businesses along the Chinatown commercial corridor, and that events such as the lantern festival and night markets are Chinatown's most important traffic drivers of the year. For Philadelphia's Chinese community, the lantern festival is more than a light show — it is how Chinatown businesses band together in the busy autumn season: only when visitors, after seeing the lights, walk into Chinatown to eat and shop does the community's vitality truly remain.
