Workers in Xinjiang's Changji have been rushing out festive lanterns to welcome the upcoming Chinese New Year, which falls on February 10 this year.  

The festive lanterns – combining traditional Chinese cultural elements and regional cultural characteristics – will be installed on the streets of Changji in early February as part of a lantern show to celebrate the Year of Loong, the Chinese dragon.
