The first-ever Magical Lantern Festival in London celebrates Chinese New Year - which occurs on February 8 - all month long. Chiswick House Gardens are filled with 50 installations that are made up of many colorful lanterns, composed into dragons, temples, and other majestical forms. The lanterns were constructed in China before moving to the UK and some took as many as 300 days to make.
While using lanterns for celebration is commonplace in China, this is the biggest festival of its kind in Europe.
