Bright lanterns combining Chinese cultural elements and modern technology at the annual international show have been set up in Zigong, a city in southwest Sichuan Province in China, to welcome visitors for the upcoming Spring Festival.
Organizers who spoke at the press conference announced the 31st International Dinosaur Lantern Show will open on January 17th.
At the event, there will be 12 sets of extra-large lanterns, seven sets of large-scale lanterns, and 200 sets at the show, with cultural heritage elements and the latest lighting technologies included.
