Illuminating tradition

Lanterns continue to light up Chinese cultural tradition, in every sense of the phrase.

Indeed, the ancient art form illuminates both the literal darkness of night but also casts light on culture to ensure it doesn't fade to black with the passage of time. And they brighten moods, too, as they invoke happiness and nostalgia among Chinese and are, likewise, internationally recognized as icons of the country.

Traditional Chinese lantern maker is embracing new opportunities to keep the craft glowing with vitality.
