Red lanterns line the Tianxin Pavilion for new year

More than 1,000 red lanterns now decorate the Tianxin Pavilion Park, one of the most well-preserved ancient attractions in Changsha, in preparations for the Chinese Lunar New Year that is approaching. Some other traditional decorations, such as Chinese knot and colored flags can be also seen around every corner of the park.
