    I went to the Lantern Festival and thought it was wonderful. The variety of shapes and colours were amazing!

    It was very busy, there was lots of traffic and there were LOTS of people! The lanterns looked beautiful and the food was delicious! What an exciting time to celebrate with your family!

    I really wanted to see the dancing but it got too late and too crowded for my family. Maybe I can go next year to see the Lantern Festival. By Hover
