A remarkable display of 450 traditional Chinese lanterns in Edinburgh Zoo is throwing new light on ancient tales from Scotland and China.
The Scottish capital is home to a pair of Chinese Pandas, Tian Tian and her mate Yang Guang. The light show features much of the cultural heritage from the Pandas' homeland in southwest China's Sichuan Province.

That theme continued with inspiration from the ancient traditions of Scottish storytelling and the country's mysterious creatures of folklore.
Richard Bestic, CGTN correspondent in the UK, said the show is a triumph of old and new.
The lanterns are the work of more than 200 Chinese artisans, employing traditional skills dating back thousands of years.
