This nighttime photo shows the climax of the Lantern Festival, when people light their lanterns and let them fly, preferably above a large body of water so they can land without starting fires. The photo shows an enormous crowd of people stretching as far as we can see. Above them are bell-shaped, glowing paper lanterns with candles inside, rising at various altitudes toward the black night sky. Photo courtesy of Jasmine House (a UK restaurant), via Facebook.

Tonight is the climactic #LanternFestival to bring #ChineseNewYear / #SpringFestival to a close for this year. This photo shows a “Water Lantern Festival” in which paper lanterns with candles create a “miniature hot-air balloon” effect. #LunarNewYear
