Watch the beauty of Lanterns – Lantern Festival in Tianjin

A carnival of floating lights….A night of wonder and dazzle…The Lantern Festival is set to light the mystic Tianjin skies again.

If you’re in Tianjin on the 5th of March, head over to the shores of the resplendent Haihe River where the major celebrations take place. For those searching for serviced apartments Tianjin close to the river, the iconic Somerset Youyi Tianjin is an ideal option as it is located just approximately 30 minutes away.

Lantern Festival marks the end of the Spring Festival celebrations, and the Chinese light brightly colored paper lanterns and send them aloft to the sky in the belief that it signifies letting go of their past selves and welcoming new ones. Thus, on the frozen Haihe River, large crowds gather to launch hundreds of candle-powered sky lanterns known as ‘Wish Lanterns’, into the air.  The collection of a multitude of bright lights in the night sky creates a truly wonderful sight to behold.
