Lantern show with history in mind draws visitors in Chengdu

The Chengdu Plain, one of the country's major farming areas, was the habitat of ancient Sichuan people and animals, like deer, thanks to its warm and humid climate.

"A flock of deer is kept in the Jinsha Site Museum all year 'round. After they visit the deer-shaped lanterns in the current lantern fair, they can see live deer," said Tao Xiaoli, an information officer with the museum.
