Magical Lantern Festival

I just wanted to share with you some fantastic photos from last night. We went to the Magical Lantern Festival in Chiswick House and Gardens. This beautiful landscaped area was ornamented with over 50 chinese new year themed lanterns ranging from small to massive, jaw dropping lanterns. It's orth every penny you spend. We got our tickets via the FEVER app and got some discounts. We paid £12 for an adult and got a Family ticket(2 adults 2 kids) as well for £42.84, so like £10.71 each family member. That was a good price I guess coz normally a regular adult ticket would cost £18 and a regualr child would be £12.

One thing you need to remember is to check the weather before coming. Food stalls are all over the place so no need to worry about getting hungry, just bring with you some cash. Also public toilets were installed all over the park and trails so when mother nature calls, it's not a problem. 

We went there on a Wednesday night and the rain was pouring, like literally we were on hoodies but still got even wet. The lanterns were still fantastic and each time you see a new one, you can't help but smile and be amazed. The only downfall is we didn't get to have decent selfies and group pics. Maybe there's a reason why it happened, so we could totally experience and appreciate the lanterns' beauty. Scoll down and enjoy the lantern photos.

Keeping our heads up as we got enchanted by this overhead flower lanterns along the trail.

Ooohhh lovely swans!

This part of the garden features a safari themed array of animal lanterns.

Peacocks are always adorable animals. Now here comes Cinderella.

I know this one's blurry but they are flamingos lining up the swamp bed.

Here's a closer and better one.

Ant power!

The dragon from afar. Before reaching the big dragon, we met quite a few more lanterns.

And we're here!!! This was massive, a 66 metre long dragon as a centrepiece is the most popular and talked about lantern in the festival. For me this was the highlight of our trail. 

The beautifully lit archway.

We're almost done with the trail and there's this showcase of animal lanterns which later on we figured out to be chinese zodiacs. I only took photo of the Ox as I was born in 1985, which basically falls on the year of the ox.

This one is right on the exit, just before you leave the gates. My hands and feet are so numb now. My phone can't even detect my fingers. I can't even feel my face, nah! But seriously it was so freakin' cold already.

Everything was lovely and pleasing to my eyes. It made me feel happy like a little kid jumping on water puddles. If only it didn't rain, it would have been much more fun and of course more pictures taken. But at the end of the day, our tummies needs to be happy as well. Chicken always win, let's go to Nandos.
