The lanterns are integrated with traditional Chinese and modern scientific elements, creating a feast of ancient and contemporary features.

A lantern work named "Fengwunantian", which means Chinese phoenix flies in the sky, is one of the outstanding art pieces, which carries good wishes for a better new year for the entire High-tech Zone. The Chinese phoenix is the king of birds in Chinese fairy tales and is the symbol of luck and harmony.

Lanterns are made into various shapes for the show, including these children being cooked with noodles. [Photo provided to chinadaily.com.cn]
