Chinese lanterns hang in Vancouver

Ahead of the 2010 winter Olympics, the streets of Vancouver have been adorned with Chinese lanterns, which display messages of good will and hope for multiculturalism and diversity in the Canadian city, as well words of encouragement for energy saving and sustaining our expendable resources. Instead of containing an Olympic torch flame, the lanterns have inside them more environmentally friendly LED lights, further pushing home the messages that are written all over the lanterns themselves.
The “forest”, so called because of the sheer numbers of the Chinese lanterns, also known as Lunar Lanterns in Vancouver, are being used to remind the population that the Olympics are not only about competing to win at an extremely high level, but also about appreciating art, culture and celebration, as well as promoting green messages whenever possible.
If you have any questions about our products, please do get in touch and we’ll be happy to answer any queries you might have. Of course, we also love to hear from you if you’ve seen Chinese lanterns in abundance anywhere in the world, and always appreciate you sharing your pictures with us.
