CHINESE LANTERN FESTIVAL !


Girls with Dragons


Sky Tower lit up red for New Year

It's an annual event, going to Albert Park to celebrate the new Chinese Year amidst hundreds of beautiful feature lanterns specially imported from China.


Beijing made out of paper lanterns



We browsed dozens of delicious food stalls and picnicked on the grass with candle-lit paper lanterns. There was non-stop free entertainment included the Nine Lion Puppet Theatre from Zhejiang.






There were craft stalls, martial arts demonstrations, a schools’ lantern making competition, fireworks, lion dances and most of all the whole park was lit up with hundreds of coloured lanterns.





Sky Tower was lit up red, to celebrate the Chinese New Year...


The detail on the lanterns was amazing



Sophia's favourite were the watermelon lanterns and Jessie liked the Lion Dancer.
