The most wonderful and sparkling perspective comes when the river’s water is loaded up with colorful lanterns. This lantern celebration stays unchanged in hundreds of years and has become the most brilliant time to attract the guests from over the world. Google’s new doodle indicates how the covered Japanese bridge and its front water looks illuminated when colorful lanterns are floated under the full moonlight.
