This year's annual lantern show at Plum Garden will introduce laser projection technology on water, in addition to integrating modern lamps and lighting arts, from Sept 8 to Oct 7.

The show consists of the four areas of the 40 Years of Reform and Opening-up, Ten Years of Plum Garden Lantern Shows, Parent-child Interaction and Performance, with a total of more than 20 lighting groups.

In order to celebrate the 40th anniversary of reform and opening-up, this year's lighting art festival, for the first time, incorporates lighting arts into urban lighting through presenting a themed lamp group along the green belt outside of the garden.

The lanterns were built by more than 50 skillful craftsmen over more than one month.
