A promotional activity of 2018 Jinmen Lantern Show was held in Xiamen on Feb 27, inviting visitors from Chinese mainland to witness the extravaganza.
The lantern show is set to take place from March 2 to 4 in Taiwan island's Jinmen, and will be themed “Year of the Dog”.
The main lantern is designed based on an eight-meter high Scholar Dog, integrating Jinmen's ancient battle field and city gate to present the city's unique features.
There are also ten auxiliary lanterns showcasing Jinmen's local culture.
