An activity called "welcome the giant lanterns" was held in Shangwang
Village in Shiqiaotou Town of Zhejiang's Wenling City on Feb. 11 to
celebrate the Lantern Festival, wishing for agreeable weather, safety and
prosperity in the new year. A pair of hand-made pagoda-shaped lanterns,
which took 20-odd villagers over 2 months to complete, were carried by
80-odd people parading in the fields. The lanterns are 16.38 meters in
height and more than 1,000 kilograms in weight.
