With lights as Bridges, Zigong lanterns tell Chinese stories

Thanks to its unique architecture and colorful activities, the China Pavilion has won the Bronze Medal of The World Expo Award for Architecture and is regarded as one of the most popular, distinctive and exciting national pavilions.
In the China Pavilion, a set of lanterns named "China Power" hold hands with the world through the Expo stage. The lanterns, from Zigong City, Sichuan Province, were designed and produced by Shengshi Silk Road, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Zigong Culture & Tourism Investment, and attracted extensive attention from the audience and media as soon as they appeared in the China Pavilion.
"The lantern is 3.5 meters long and 3 meters high. It is shaped by traditional Chinese lantern crafts, integrated with clear waters and green mountains, smart cities, Chinese speed and Chinese mascots, and made by exquisite lantern technology."

"Using lanterns as the medium, tell Chinese stories with colorful lanterns." This is an epitome of how Zigong has promoted outstanding Chinese culture to "go out" with colorful lanterns in recent years. It is also zigong's answer to the question of how Chinese culture can better go out into the world.
