The lanterns are popular around several holidays- including Chinese New Year
Animal charities and organisations have warned the public against the dangers of paper sky lanterns. This comes ahead of Chinese New Year which is celebrated on January 22.
The lanterns are popular with people as they are lit and allowed to fly off into the night sky, creating a picturesque scene. However, their danger to wildlife has been raised by several animal charities.
