Around 1,500 lanterns replicated this journey along the ancient Silk Road, with illuminated models of Rome's Colosseum, the Egyptian pyramids and a Tang dynasty palace.
The decorations, using 60,000 light bulbs, were also seen in figures associated with the Middle East, such as camels, and the characters of Aladdin, Jasmine and the Genie from the Disney film "Aladdin".
