The Lantern Festival falls on February 24 this year. In Taiyuan, Shanxi Province, the "Chinese Dragon" in the Fenhe River Scenic Area has been given a new set of clothes by lantern craftsmen to ward off the wind and snow. With a length of 126 meters, a head height of 16 meters and a body diameter of 3.5 meters, the entire installation weighs 20 tons. It's equipped with special sets of energy-saving lights inside. With the installation and debugging work complete, the giant dragon installation will be lit up ahead of the Lantern Festival to greet the public.
