The 2021 light sculpture show featuring adorable characters floating on the river sparked much discussion, and this year’s “SANRIO Colorful Bitan” is even more spectacular! Five major Sanrio stars, including Hello Kitty, Melody, Cinnamoroll, Gudetama, and Pompompurin, have all transformed into sketching artists scattered along the riverbank.
