More than 50 handmade lanterns light up the Shanghai Garden after sunset and will do so until Lantern Festival on Feb 15. Among the lanterns, 14 are palace lanterns from Wenshengzhai, a Beijing stationery workshop that used to make lanterns for the emperors in the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911). Other lanterns were made by national intangible heritage successors of lantern-making from Suzhou, Jiangsu province; Kaifeng, Henan province; and Jiangmen, Guangdong province.
