As you probably guessed by the title, I'm going to show you one of my favourite days of the year. Chinese Lantern Day!
This is actually a family tradition. Each year we go to the Chinese Lantern Festival at the Montreal Botanical Gardens. Last CLD (Chinese Lantern Day) was the first time my great grand-mother went to the festival. Oddly enough, she lives in the same city that CLD is held.
Then we finally went to the lanterns. My grand-mother was amazed by all the colours. Basically, there are 2 areas to explore. There's an area where there are chineses buildings (pagodas) with an overview of the lake lanterns, and there's an area near a waterfall on a mountain with the other lanterns. If you want to make lanterns for yourself check out this link: Chinese Lanterns
I felt outstandingly happy to be there once again, and I'm really excited for the next one.
Hope you liked this short presentation on Chinese Lantern Day.
Bye!
