【诗巫景Ho-KaLiu】诗巫灯会2017

配合诗巫旅游年，由诗巫市议会主催，诗巫中华工商总会主办的灯会兼美食节，从10月3日至26日在诗巫第一及第二期广场举行。

关于美食节我就不多说。不过这次的灯会别出心裁，值得一提。

据说这灯会的设计及创作是交由一间来自中国，在马来西亚投资的亚洲太平洋马戏杂技艺术有限公司负责，总共花费了大约30万零吉的重本！建设工程方面由十多二十位来自中国的专业技术人员负责。

我知道现在才来po这文章有点迟， 毕竟节目已经结束了。不过就把它当作回味也好、对没机会亲眼目睹/出席这场盛会的朋友来说，就当欣赏美图，让我们一同感受这五彩缤纷、美不胜收的灯会吧！

注： 灯会展出日期延长到28日，所以还没到场的朋友可以趁今天最后一天去看看咯！

2nd Sibu Lantern Festival - Day View of the Standing Lanterns

Yeah... I know this is not something fresh. It is about the 2nd Sibu Lantern Festival which was started on the 16th and by now it's more than a week's old already. This is in fact the 4th post I shared about this festive event because I found out that there are too many colorful photos to share. No matter you like it or not, I beg you at least scan through these colorful photos which I took under the clear weather and hot sun. This is probably my last post about the event before I move on.

I love the blue blue sky which make my photos feel more presentable despite taken with an unprofessional camera. Anyhow, the colorful giant lanterns standing at Sibu Town Square phase 1 compound really made up my day! By this moment, you hardly found such beautiful scenery anymore after a strong wind blew across Sibu sky on Wednesday night. Lots of hanging lanterns were fallen and the standing one also facing some damages. So, do enjoy these photos which stay pretty forever! ;)

2nd Sibu Lantern Festival - Day View of the Street Lanterns

In my previous post I shared about the light-up and night view of 13,000 lanterns covering Sibu's sky at 2nd Sibu Lantern Festival held from 16th - 26th September. If you are at the scene, you would feel how tremendous that is! Although there are critics saying that the lanterns are not properly aligned, but I believe it is just the little imperfection. Overall comments are still encouraging.

A friend told me that this is prettier than Singapore Orchard Road during Christmas season. Another friend come all the way from Kuching just to witness its beauty as well as taking photos on it because according to her, thousands of lanterns on the streets is something unique and attractive. I believe that this is another event that had put Sibu in the center of attention after the 516 Sibu by election despite the scale is smaller.

Cut the craps, in this post I gonna share the day view of the street lanterns. Although night view is more romantic, but day view has its own attractiveness. Capturing on daylight is much easier than night as the natural lighting is sufficient especially when the sky is clear. However, exposed under the hot sun is unavoidable. Anyway, I am satisfied with the outcome. It is not pro, but is the efforts that count. Hope you like them too!
