Shenyang Lantern Show 沈阳奥体灯会

On Sunday when I went to library to return books with my family, I found that there were lantern show at the Shenyang Olympic Center. I seldom see lanterns in recent years, because a few years ago, when I went to see lanterns, I found too many people over there so that we can hardly walk any farther. But yesterday we happened to pass there and there were not too many people( because yesterday was the last day of lantern show), so we decided to have a look. Having finished supper, we drived here.

周末去图书馆还书，路过奥体中心，才发现原来这里有迎春灯会。其实这几年真的很少看灯展，就是因为几年前正月十五当天去看花灯那人多的几乎走不动路。以至于后来好几年对这事也没什么兴致了。而今年的灯会碰巧昨天路过，并且是最后一天（这次灯会从大年初一 一直到正月十七，一共17天呢。），我想人不会太多，正好可以带小朋友玩一玩。否则，人太多真的不放心带出来。所以我们吃完晚饭，直接走二环，不到20分钟就到了这里。

It had a great atmosphere. And I learned that this lantern show was the biggest one so far. All kinds of lanterns were exquisite and unique. There are golden dragon lantern, auspicious lotus lantern, vivid fish lantern and other cartoon lanterns which were full of childlike and so on. They were a riot of colour and dazzled us.

I took some photos and selected some of them to share with you.

现场的气氛还是非常好的。今年的灯会是最近几年最大得一次。各种各样的花灯，造型精美，新颖别致。有金光闪闪的龙灯，吉祥如意的荷花灯，栩栩如生的鱼灯，还有很多充满童趣的生肖灯、卡通动物灯等等。五彩缤纷，一派火树银花的景象。看的我眼花缭乱。拍了一些，这里挑选了一部分供大家欣赏。

一进正门，就是人气很旺、浪漫十足的玫瑰花灯。
These were very popular and romantic rose lanterns.

Every lantern has a unique meaning, in addition, there were many other performances, because of limited time, after seeing these lanterns,we went home.But it was a worthy trip. I thikn the most fun was that you experience it on the spot. This was northeastern lantern show, how about you?

每个花灯都有独特得寓意，此外，现场还有很多其他表演活动，由于时间关系，我们就没有一一观看，不过还是不虚此行。真正得精彩还是要现场体会才最有乐趣。这就是我们东北得迎春灯会，你们那里都是怎样得呢？
