Lighting up people's lives

In the day, the view of Wuzhen is dominated by white walls and brown wooden doors, but this scene changes spectacularly in the night when the different lights in the water town create a stunning kaleidoscope of colors against the black sky.

Of all the shops in Wuzhen, the one selling traditional handmade lanterns stands out the most during the night.

The man behind these exquisite creations is Gu Yeguang, a 53-year-old craftsman who was born into a family of lantern makers in Nanjing, Jiangsu province.
