To celebrate 2022 lunar year, over 20 Lunar lanterns and banners are installed in the city. Lanterns are ideally viewed in the dark. However, to avoid the crowd, we will visit them during the day. These are bigger than life size animal lanterns and are still spectacular to see. We will also add sculptures and other landmarks. As we are in the city, there are many exits to tempt us to cut short the walk. It is a condition to complete the whole walk ( 10 km and 350m elevation) if you were to RSVP to this walk.
