The Chinese Warriors have come to town. They are multi-coloured and up to about 2.5 metres high.
They are part of a fabulous installation at the Old College quad which is being staged until 7 February each evening from 4.00 till 9.00pm which have been brought to Scotland for the first time.
The spectacle was first created by Chinese artist Xia Nan for the Olympic Games staged in Beijing in 2008.
The lanterns are inspired by the army of terracotta soldiers, discovered in 1974 when the tomb of the 3rd Century BC First Chinese Emperor Qin Shi Huang was unearthed in the Xi’an province of China.
We hope you like our photos! If you have any photos of the warriors or anything else connected with Chinese New Year then please add them to our EdinburghReportage storyboard here. They can be from anywhere around the world!
