I didn't expect that I would use "shocking" to describe the lanterns in the Greater Bay Area
The Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Bay Area Lantern Festival, which I have been looking forward to for more than a month, is finally open. Before going there, I always thought the tickets were expensive, but after I got there, I felt it was worth it. Each set of lanterns is very beautiful. Standing under the lanterns ten meters high, the feeling is really indescribable. It's really shocking.
I heard it was made by the Zigong team, it’s really beautiful, many of the light sets have movable parts (such as blinking, flowers opening and closing, raising hands, etc.).
This is definitely a must-experience event in Guangzhou this year during the Chinese New Year. It is simply a paradise built on the ground, recommended💯
