Colorful lanterns have been lit up in both Shanghai and Paris as part of the 2024 Chinese New Year celebrations.
A lantern installation titled “A Night of Fish and Dragon Dance” illuminated Shanghai’s iconic Yuyuan Garden on Friday as a preview for its annual lantern fair, which will officially begin in mid-to-late January 2024 and last for over 40 days to celebrate the Year of the Dragon.
The Yuyuan lantern festival in Paris is part of the celebrations for the 60th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and France, and also marks the China-France Year of Culture and Tourism in 2024. Over 60 large sets of Chinese lanterns and 2,000 traditional lanterns will illuminate Paris until February 25 next year.
