Common activities during the Lantern Festival in China include lighting colorful lanterns, solving riddles, and participating in lion dances. Celebrated on the 15th day of the Chinese New Year, the festival symbolizes the return of spring and the reunion of family. Lanterns, often shaped like animals, characters, and flowers, are displayed at night, creating a warm and vibrant atmosphere. Delicious foods, such as glutinous rice balls (tangyuan), are consumed, representing family unity. The festival emphasizes joy, family togetherness, and the anticipation of good fortune in the coming year.
