What is craftsman spirit? A sparkling peacock lantern tells the answer. Every single feather from it needs to be trimmed more than 600 times by hand, and around 30,000 of these feathers make up this peacock. It is a total hand-made work of art. Liu Juncai, the designer and maker of this lantern, introduces his masterpiece. With decades of dedication, he is a well-deserved master in making delicate lanterns. Come check out this masterpiece along with our hosts! #NihaoChina #LanternFestival #Happy
