The Terracotta Warriors were built 2,000 years ago by the First Emperor Qin Shihuang and unearthed by a farmer in 1974. At the festival, lanterns depicting the warriors light up a section of the walking path at the water's edge.
The Dragon & Phoenix lantern lights up one of the Ontario Place bridges.
