Each year the Montreal Botanic Gardens features a new and renown
festival of lanterns, based on a theme, in their Chinese garden (the
largest outside of China). Lanterns are designed the previous
year in Montreal, fabricated from silk in China, then shipped over and
assembled for the festival that runs during September and October.
The theme for 2010 is Like
a Painting, featuring
scenes and characters of around 1200AD from the Song Dynasty, from the
most famous traditional Chinese painting: Qing
Ming Shang He Tu from
1127AD.
