Spring Festival is just two weeks away. People in China are preparing for the long holiday and arranging travel plans for the coming Chinese New Year.

But one group of people is busier than ever before. They are workers in the Luyang Industrial District in east China’s Anhui Province, producing red lanterns for Chinese New Year.

As the largest producer of red lanterns in Asia, workers are receiving orders from everywhere. Hanging a red lantern at home is a very important part of Spring Festival, representing people’s wish for a wealthy and lucky new year.

Three thousand large red lanterns are produced in the factory every day. Every Chinese traditional festival is a crucial time for the business.

As well as traditional red lanterns for Chinese New Year, the workers are able to craft lanterns in the style once used in royal palaces.

A female worker is busy packing completed red lanterns.

Workers have to labor until 9 p.m. in the busy season, which will last until New Year's Eve. “Working overtime is not a big deal for us, as we make ‘lucky money’,” said Zhang Hong, one of workers in the factory.
