The Spring Festival is here.

CGTN traveled to Xiangshan County of east China's Zhejiang Province to seek a cultural heritage that has become a symbol of the celebration: fish lanterns.

In a coastal town called Shipu, Bao Jiqin showed us how the lanterns are made and what the lanterns signify for the local fishermen since ancient times.

Watch this episode to learn more.
