Enjoy the romance of the lanterns.
The Wuhan Garden Expo Park Lantern Festival is officially open today!
We were among the first to visit (there were so many people today!)
This is the largest lantern festival in Wuhan, with the most lanterns‼️

There are nearly 70 large themed lantern displays,
and a 2,800-meter-long dazzling tour route throughout the park.
We walked around and took photos,
and it took us more than 2 hours to see everything.
