The Lantern Festival, also known as Yuanxiao Festival, is an important traditional Chinese holiday celebrated on the 15th day of the first lunar month. It marks the end of the Spring Festival celebrations. One popular custom is eating yuanxiao, sweet rice balls filled with nuts or sesame paste, which symbolizes family reunion and harmony.

Another significant tradition is admiring colorful lanterns. Streets and parks are decorated with beautiful lanterns in various shapes and sizes, creating a magical atmosphere. People often write riddles on the lanterns for others to guess, adding fun to the festival. Families also gather to enjoy dragon dances and lion dances, showcasing cultural performances full of vitality.

This joyful festival not only highlights the importance of family but also carries deep historical and cultural significance.
