[@TheArtofRVing]

*This is so beautiful.....................thanks*

[@OffbeatDiscoveries]

Yes it is! And, as usual, the camera still doesn't capture the full beauty we saw that night. Thanks for watching!

[@TheArtofRVing]

@@OffbeatDiscoveries Yes....in person is much better, but I did enjoy it

[@vvarietyshow]

I wish this was close by... so cool. Can't decide which is my favorite: the elephant or the wings.

[@OffbeatDiscoveries]

We discovered there are several other displays the Tianyu Company put on. Maybe there is one near you. Thanks for watching and commenting! (My favorite was the butterfly tree. It changed colors over time.)

[@vvarietyshow]

@@OffbeatDiscoveries I'll look into it!

Beautiful scenes and lights and colors. I missed the premiere but I enjoyed this after. Happy New Year to you and God bless you !!!

[@OffbeatDiscoveries]

Thank you for checking this out and commenting. We really appreciate it! Best wishes for a wonderful year in 2020!

[@JMExplorations]

Oh man!!! It’s so hard to pick my favorite thing, because it was all awesome!!! I think I will have to go with the bike that activated the light show annnnd... of course, the engagement area!! 😍😍. But wait....was that an angry panda? Lol... he was cute even if he was grumpy and didn’t want to dance. This place was just spectacular!! Thank you for letting us come along!!!!

[@OffbeatDiscoveries]

LOL Funny Jen and Marcel! Once we stepped away, we assumed it was a just a blow-up bear because he (it) became stiff as a brick. Others behind us thought the same. But then while editing this in post I concluded it HAD to have been a person inside since it turned slightly left when Markay said 'dance with me.' But agreed -the panda was grumpy. :-) Personally speaking, my (Troy's) favorite was the butterfly tree; it was magnificent! Thanks for joining us on this discovery!

[@DerelictDoug]

This is so unique. I’ve never seen such an elaborate lantern fest. What a treat! I think the acrobats are my favorite. Thank you for sharing and best wishes!

[@OffbeatDiscoveries]

II knew about this in our area but hadn't seen it until we filmed this episode. We loved it too and will definitely return again! (It changes each year) Thank you for your support!

[@robertj.fiengo7942]

Sorry that I missed the premiere! The video was so spectacular! Wow,that is such a beautiful assortment,of lanterns! I really enjoyed it very much! The piano was similar,to the one,in the movie BIG (1988). Robert Loggia and Tom Hanks were playing,on it together! I also liked the acrobats,it was so amazing,to watch!!! Keep up the great work! Happy New Year!!!!! God bless you!!!!!

[@OffbeatDiscoveries]

LOL Robert! I debated a cut-away to that scene in "Big." :-) YES! We filmed this on a Thursday night (prior to Christmas). We had read the performances were only on weekends. So we were pleasantly surprised to be able to capture the acrobatics too. Happy New Year to you Robert and we hope 2020 brings you only the best! God Bless!

[@AdventureswithDanTracie]

Cool background information on how they prepare for the festival.! We didn't go this year because we were overseas, but maybe next year. One thing that I like about the festival is that they display different lanterns each year to keep things new. Thank you for sharing, my new friend!

[@OffbeatDiscoveries]

Sorry for our late response, but WELCOME to our channel. Yes, we may have to return this year and film another episode with those changes. Collab maybe? Thanks for your comment!

[@AdventureswithDanTracie]

@@OffbeatDiscoveries A collab would be fun! I can't guarantee where we will be in about 11 months (we might try to visit some other countries during the holidays), but let's stay connected and see if we can make it happen.

[@EatTravelHappy]

This event was beyond amazing! We would love to see this in person. There's no way I could pick a favorite, they are all amazing! Love that you can get engaged there! You two do an awesome job. Your channel is so refreshing. You must have a history in radio or tv. We are new fans of your channel and I hope we can stay connected. We have never made it to NC in our travels, hopefully 2020 will be the year. ATB ~ Randy & Patti

[@OffbeatDiscoveries]

Thank you so much, Randy & Patti from Eat Travel Happy! You just made our day. As fellow KZbinrs I know you KNOW how much goes into each travel and each video. Lots of work but a labor of love all the same. So glad we found you through Burning Sands (Cindy). We just adore her. Thank you again and we will be staying in touch.

[@OffbeatDiscoveries]

Oh...and if you DO make it to North Carolina you must must must contact us so that we can do a collaboration video. Would that not be fun???

[@EatTravelHappy]

@@OffbeatDiscoveries That would be so much fun! We will definitely contact if we visit NC!

[@jenniferp.9074]

I'm sad I missed the premiere but this video was awesome! I couldn't imagine how much time was put into everything for this festival. Thank you for sharing this with us! Can't wait to see what 2020 brings you guys💕

[@OffbeatDiscoveries]

Our premiere announcement was very last minute, and in conflict with NYE celebrations. We'll give you a free pass on this one. :-D We're glad you watched it and thanks for commenting! Happy New Year Jennifer!!
