豫园元宵灯会面临取消   2015-01-05

 

TALKS are under way over the fate of the annual lantern festival at Shanghai’s Yuyuan Garden following the Bund tragedy.

Several public events have already been called off because of the crush incident of December 31 that ended in the loss of 36 lives and injuries to 49 others.

The Spring Festival celebration would be the 15th held at the Yuyuan Garden, an event that in recent years has attracted around 60,000 visitors a day.
