A Sichuan museum offers a lantern show and a chance to explore ancient Egypt with high-tech guidance, Mei Jia reports.

To most residents of Chengdu, Spring Festival is often linked with large-scale lantern shows. Jinsha Site Museum is one of the country's first museums that also hosts a lantern show - this year with an Egyptian twist.

The pyramids and other symbolic images from ancient Egypt have been turned into large-scale lantern installations made of bamboo, cloth and paper. Some are more than 15 meters tall. By day, they are outdoor decorations; at night, they lighten up the sky over the museum and echo the lanterns of ancient Sichuan culture.
