Artists perform at the opening ceremony of a rolling lantern festival in
Fengxian District last night. More than 300 rolling lanterns (or gundeng)
performers from Fengxian, and Zhejiang and Jiangsu provinces will stage shows
during the festival, which will run throughout November. Rolling lantern art,
which dates back more than 700 years, has been included in China’s intangible
cultural heritage list.- Shanghai Daily
