Peaceful, beautiful, unforgettable.
I went with a small group of friends, and we were honestly speechless during the lantern launch. So calm, so moving. It felt like a moment to let go of some things and start fresh. The whole event was super organized, and the little details really added to the atmosphere.
Pure Magic
I don’t even have the words to describe how beautiful this night was. Watching the lanterns float up all around us felt like a dream — I literally had tears in my eyes. Everything was well organized, and the staff were super kind and helpful. Can’t wait to do it again next year!
