4. Qin Huai Lantern Party, Nanjing
In Nanjing, capital city of Jiangsu Province, another party celebrating the Lantern Festival is scheduled to open to the public from February 12 to March 3rd, featuring nice lanterns from across the Taiwan Straits.
What sets the Qin Huai Lantern Party apart from the others is its setting. One of its three main venues will be at the Confucius Temple in Nanjing. The lanterns will reflect their surroundings, centering around a theme of classic stories of the Confucius and Chinese astrology, and many historical literary quotations. Being held in its 23rd year, this year's event is being co-hosted by the Chinese mainland and Taiwan for the first time.
