STORYLINE:

A spectacular 11-day light exhibition designed by Chinese artists has wrapped up in the Israeli Mediterranean city of Tel Aviv.

The festival, which concluded on Thursday evening, attracted numerous visitors to the Tel Aviv Port, an area of culture, entertainment and leisure activities in the northwest of the city, to enjoy the 21 bright and colorful light installations from Zigong, a city in southwest China's Sichuan province famous for its lantern culture.

A large winding Chinese dragon lightning exhibit beside the landmark of the port "I love Tel Aviv" was particularly a big hit. The 30-meter-long and 3-meter-high artwork in red and yellow was the most popular location to pose for photos against the backdrop of stunning Mediterranean sunset.

Other vivid and colorful Chinese light sculptures featuring pandas, octopuses, flamingos, dinosaurs, and waves also provided visual enjoyment for visitors.

SOUNDBITE 1 (English): GARRY, Israeli visitor
"It is a very special light show from China and we just wanted to check it out. It is really wonderful. It looks great. I heard a lot of good things about it. And here it is. It didn't disappoint at all. I have never been to China. I would love to visit and sounds like a great country. And I love to learn more about it and see it in person."

SOUNDBITE 2 (English): CARMEL, Israeli visitor
"We are not living in Tel Aviv. We live in a different city in Israel. So we came pretty far to see this show. We heard about it in the news and we came to watch it and to experience the event. We are very excited because we have two kids. One is two years old and the other is 12 years old. And the show is suitable for each age. Both of them are enjoying it in their own way. And also we are adults and we are amazed by this fantastic art."
