YOKOHAMA -- The Chinese New Year Lanterns Festival, an event that extravagantly illuminates Yokohama's Chinatown with Chinese lanterns, will begin on Tuesday. Under the theme of "an eager welcome," the entire Chinatown area will be lit up to celebrate the Chinese New Year from Tuesday to February.
A lighting ceremony will be held at 6 p.m. on Tuesday near the Zenrinmon Gate on Chinatown Boulevard, and the lights will be on from 4 p.m. to 11 p.m. every night through February next year.
