Loy Kra Thong is a traditional Thai festival that is celebrated on the night of the 12th lunar month in Thai calendar when the full moon lights up the sky. It is one of the most romantic festival in Thailand, during which people will put beautiful hand-made lights on the water to let all bad luck and all misfortune drift away, as well as thank the goddess of the river and water for being able to use water. And the lotus-shape lights are usually made of palm tree and its leaves and decorated with candles, incense and flowers.
Located at the mouth of the Pearl River at the southern end of Guangzhou, Nansha Bird Park is close to the ocean and has a good natural ecological environment, consisting of six islands with different views. Visitors can enjoy different views in seasons all year.
