On February 12, a grand Lantern Festival gala themed on Song Dynasty cultural vibes was held in Hangzhou. More than 20 families participated in the traditional Lantern Festival celebration activities such as mountain climbing, garden party, lantern riddles, lantern-making and dance performances.
The Lantern Festival is a Chinese traditional festival celebrated on the full moon, the fifteenth day of the first month in the lunisolar Chinese calendar. It marks the final day of the traditional Chinese New Year celebrations. As early as the Western Han Dynasty (206 BCE–25 CE), it had become a festival with great significance.
