Festival Of Lanterns

Chinese New Year has been known all over the world.But do you know Festival Of Lanterns?

Festivla Of Lanterns is one of the traditional festivals of China.It's the 15th day after Chinese New Year's Day.On that day,people enjoy a special food which is named tang-yuan(sweet dumpling but looks like pingpong). Most rural areas have celebrations at night.People watch fancy lanterns in the square , guess the puzzles which have been written on the lanterns, and watch dragon and lion dance. Also, some people in the city would like to stay at home with their families in the evening, for there are many wonderful TV at night. In addition to that, a lot of people prefer to go to park, because of having beautiful lanterns and the amused festival atmosphere.
