The Chinese Lantern Festival is an annual event in Auckland, and has to be accompanied by all the different, delicious Chinese meals cooking at the stalls there! As it gets dark the lanterns glow all through the park, all different designs and colours. Quite a sight! It's to welcome the Chinese New Year, Year of the Rat this year... there are tea ceremonies, martial arts, crafts and fireworks.. It runs for three nights and is fun! We always try to eat something different, which isn't hard, and the crafts are exquisite. Last time we strayed into the huge tents for champagne and nibbles as well!
