Distinctive to Wang Mantian Village, located deep in the mountains of southern Anhui, this fish-shaped lantern boast a history of over 600 years and is a provincial-level intangible cultural heritage. Every year between the 13th and 16th day of the first month of Lunar Calendar, the locals hold these fish-shaped lanterns on a parade in hope for prosperity and peace.
