Peonies, fish and other symbols of good luck feature in the lanterns hung on the pedestrian streets of the Qianmen and Liulichang areas near Beijing's Central Axis. The lanterns have been put up in the neighborhood as of Chinese New Year celebrations in China's capital. Visitors who look up can read the lines of ancient Chinese poems, displayed on glowing lanterns above them. The ongoing Changdian Temple Fair also draws out people with an array of cultural activities throughout the holiday period.
