Zibo city's glorious lantern fair receives national honor

The renowned lantern fair held each year in Zibo city – in East China's Shandong province – was recently given the national appellation of being a "hometown of Chinese folk culture and art" by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism.

That's in the wake of Zibo's successful moves in recent years to develop its lantern economy and tourism resources, enriching the tourism experience of visitors.
