Baquan, a village that boasts a long history of silkworm breeding in east China's Zhejiang Province, came alive on Saturday with a vibrant celebration of the upcoming Lantern Festival, featuring a unique "silkworm dragon" parade.

Over 600 villagers participated in the event, each holding a silkworm cocoon-shaped lantern. The lanterns, when combined, formed a 1,200-meter-long dragon. The villagers paraded through the village streets before gathering in a square to form multiple concentric circles, with the dragon swirling around the center in a dazzling field of lanterns under the night sky.
