My family visited Chinese Lantern Festival in Ontario Place yesterday night. There are stunning 30 massive illuminated lanterns, created by over 80 Chinese master craftsmen. Plus you can see the dragon dance, bargain for Chinese handicrafts at the Chinese Marketplace, and see China featured movies at the Cinesphere. The show open every night from 7:00 pm to 11:00 pm until September 4, 2006, and starting from September 7 – October 1, 2006 from 5:00 pm – 10:00 pm.
