You cannot celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival (中秋节) without mentioning Lanterns (灯笼). In the olden days, these lanterns were made with colourful cellophane, glass or plain papers and hand-painted by craftsmen. They come in the shapes of animal, flora or mystical beast like dragon and phoenix and are lit by candles. Modern day lanterns can include characters from movies or Japanese animations and are made with plastic. They are powered by LEDs and batteries which are more suitable for younger audience due to no open flame.
