Nothing but fun
Lanterns,self-made or bought, are hung up to illuminate the festive night. In urban areas, decorative lanterns are hung across major streets, making the night a sea of flaring lantern and twinkling night. Nanjing, capital of East China’s Jiangsu Province has one of China’s most lavish and popular lantern displays around the Confucius Temple by the Qinhuai River. At the lantern fairs, people try to solve puzzles written on the lanterns and enjoy the festive atmosphere with families and friends. This year, parks in Beijing such as Beijing Sculpture Park, Yanshan Park and Beijing Garden of World’s Flowers hold lantern displays on the festive occasion, which attract plentiful audiences.
On the night, magnificent lanterns and fireworks create a beautiful scene. Most families spare some fireworks from the New Year’s Eve and let them off in the Lantern Festival. Some local governments will even organize a fireworks party.
