Zigong

A funeral service centre in the Sichuan province city of Zigong explained the purchase of 196,230 litres of diesel, a 40% increase from its annual average, by noting its supply was "almost exhausted."

Organizers removed the holiday tent, winter stage and workshop but added an open-air gallery that explains the origins of lantern-making in Zigong City, China.

Police in Zigong, a midsize city in Sichuan Province, bought 156 sets of the technology, the documents show.

It will be the first in a three-year partnership between Magnolia and the Zigong Lantern Group, a China-based company that has designed and created lantern displays in more than 200 cities around the world.

It has partnered with Zigong Lantern Group and China Lantern International to create a nighttime jungle filled with giant illuminated lanterns made from colorful silk by Chinese artisans.
