Waste materials turned into festive dragon lanterns for Chinese New Year

About

As the Spring Festival approaches, an impressively grand lantern installation, shaped like a majestic big tail dragon, has captivated both the local residents and tourists in Fuzhou City of China's Fujian Province.

The dragon head was constructed from various discarded objects and the dragon body was composed of 240 festive lanterns, ending with an abandoned fishing net as the tail, forming a large 168-meter-long artistic installation. During the joyous Spring Festival period, the dragon lantern display will be illuminated every evening from 17:30 p.m. to 23:00 p.m., offering locals and tourists an enchanting display of light and color.

Meanwhile, a set of lanterns themed "Dragon and Phoenix Bringing Prosperity" also lighted up the city's night and added the festive atmosphere to the upcoming Chinese New Year.
