The lantern capture the lively and quick personality of the tiger holding trapeze rings and wearing a vest with the number ’99′, referring to the year 2010 (the 99th year of the ROC) as well as the similar sounding Chinese characters for “long lasting.”
In addition to its static appeal, the lantern also uses the dynamics of the paper to enable the tiger to spin on the trapeze, adding to the fun of seasonal fun.

And there is another tiger lantern in Zigong lantern festival, it’s so big, I think it’s the biggest tiger lantern in the world.
