what to expect
Each unique piece holds a story of its own that will be told to visitors to help contextualize their experience even more. Some pieces depict Chinese legends and lore, while others celebrate the beauty of nature.
Sealight Festival’s unique luminescent night walk brings the culture and craftsmanship of traditional Chinese lantern festivals, where all cultural contribution is a celebration! This walk can take anywhere from 25 to 45 minutes depending on your pace.
Modern LED lights are embellished by traditionally hand-crafted lantern frames made from small pieces of classically made Chinese silk cloth and steel wire. All lanterns are created by artisans, some of which have over 20 years of experience in their trade and bring magical folkloric creatures to life.
