The annual Festival of Lights – a spectacular display of illuminations projected on historical monuments and public buildings across town – kicked off in Lyon in France this Thursday. But with Europe in the grip of an energy crisis, this year's extravaganza has also been designed to use as little electricity as possible while still putting on a memorable show.
The French city lights up for four days. As night falls, historic monuments, public buildings, squares or parks serve as a canvas for illuminated works of art - part of the Festival of Lights.
Molten iron show lights up night sky in Beijing for Lantern festivalView on euronews
A dazzling show featuring molten iron takes place at the World Park in Beijing for the Lantern festival and 15th day of the Lunar New Year. Performers heat up the molten iron in a blast furnace and splash it into the sky, creating firework-like displays also called "iron flower".
Rain and a mask mandate haven't deterred crowds from watching the Festival of Lights in the French city of Lyon. Thousands turned up to admire the illuminated buildings after last year's show was cancelled due to the pandemic.
