A splendid lantern fair was held on Saturday to celebrate the upcoming Spring Festival at the Qingxiu Mountain in Nanning, Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region.

The lantern event, which runs until March 9, blends the ecological beauty of the mountain with elements of the Year of the Snake, creating a dazzling spectacle.

The lantern exhibition spans over 61.73 hectares and showcases 45 meticulously crafted lantern displays, including water, land and pathway installations.

Other notable displays include the cyberpunk-inspired "Mechanical Dinosaur" and the "Feathers in Full Bloom" water lantern.

Throughout the festival, visitors can also enjoy a range of cultural performances, including water-based folk art and traditional Chinese performances, as well as a food market, offering a feast for the senses.
