The Lunar New Year is filled with dazzling light and color across the starry sky. Everyone has gathered to celebrate ancient traditions and honor the Year of the Dragon.
The excitement is clear throughout the festival grounds, filled with family and laughter. As you take in the sights around you, they beckon your lens to capture their unique charms and bring the legends and good fortune to life.

Q: Can I Use In-Game Photo Filters and Frames?
A: Yes, you may.

Q: May player characters, villagers, or NPCs be in the screenshots?
A: Yes.

A: Of course!
Q: Can I Exclude My Player Character From the Scene?

A: Yes, this would be fine!
