• If you’re staying in Chengdu (or are visiting) during Chinese New Year, and are looking for a little local flavour, one of the many lantern festivals will be sure to hit the spot. They tend to offer up traditional street snacks, Chinese nicknacks, huge lanterns in all shapes and sizes, and lots and lots of people.

• Most of the lanterns are sculpted to tell a stories based on myths, legends, folk customs, historical stories, movies and TV shows. In Sichuan the Zigong Lantern Festival (a city known for their dinosaur fossils, spicy food, and salt production) is the most famous – but Chengdu is also hosting some of its own.
