The long body of a dragon lantern snakes through the shopping area of Shichahai adjacent to Beijing’s central axis, bringing with it a sense of cheer and festivity. As if panting alongside the ancient, inner-city lakes, the dragon lantern stretches for 200 meters. Residents and tourists have been having a lot of fun posing for pictures with the new dragon ahead of Chinese New Year this weekend.
