“The 2022 Hong Kong Sky Lantern Festival,” organized by the non-profit-making organization GP43, kicked off at Wonderland, West Kowloon Cultural District, Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong on Aug. 6.
The two-day event showcased more than 200 “blessing the sky lanterns” and two million “blessing paper cranes” to pray for Hong Kong and successfully challenge the Guinness World Record. The paper cranes came from nearly 130 schools and were collected over a 10 months period. One of the schools collected 70,000, and each kid contributed 100.
