IMHO the only exhibit that made the RM 5 admission worth its money. A dragon made entirely out chinese cutlery. Not very lantern-y I know, but impressive nonetheless.

A statue of Avalokitesvara, facing four directions. It was nice to look at until its mouths, eyes and limbs moved (not in a nice way, mind you), and water started sprouting from one of its clasped hands.
P/S that green light you see on its forehead? It's a green laser that draws random lines on the floor... talk about tacky

There was a display made out of several lit spherical cages, each spinning in a different direction, with a disco ball within. A slower shutter speed made it look so much nicer :P

Went to a so-called Asian Lantern Carnival last week, which was quite pathetic. Given the name, we expected tonnes of people but were greeted instead with a huge empty space with less than a hundred people around. It probably wouldn't have looked as bad if there were more people, but some of the displays looked downright tacky at that point.
But as always, there were some scenes worth taking =)
