Zigong | Lantern Festival

After the dinosaur park, we met back up with our driver and she drove us about 15 minutes to the Lantern Festival. By this point it was cold and drizzling, but we decided to forge ahead because we heard great things! 

We got there a little bit before dark which was cool because we have pictures in the daytime and all lit up at night. We wandered around for awhile taking in the sheer number of floats/decorations/lights that went into this festival before we settled into a place for dumplings while it drizzled around us. 





After dumplings, the girls got a sucker.



And then, slowly, but surely all the lights started coming on! Looooved this peacock!


My other favorite was the walkways... I loved looking up at the different creations.


I am not sure if these pictures adequately capture how big this place was and just how many lights there were! It was pretty magical!!
















After we walked around, we headed home arriving pretty late! The next morning, we woke up, Nonni walked the girls to the bus stop one final time and then I took Nonni to the airport on my way to work! We are so so thankful Nonni was able to spend three weeks with us!


We had the best time!
