Lantern Festival          Citizen Activity           Daily Life            Community

 

The Lantern Festival, is a traditional Chinese festival celebrated on the fifteenth day of the first month in the lunar year in the Chinese calendar. It is not to be confused with the Mid-Autumn Festival, which is also sometimes known as the "Lantern Festival" in locations such as Singapore, and Malaysia. During the Lantern Festival, children go out at night to temples carrying rabbit-shaped lanterns and solve riddles on the lanterns. We eat Yuan Xiao (also called Tang Yuan, a dessert made from glutinous rice flour) in that day, It marks the end of Chinese New year. In Hangzhou, the Lantern Festival is a big event each year. Every district administration and big communities would organize festival celebration activities for citizens. Those big lanterns in the streets are really eye-catching.

Hangzhou has this kind of temperament, let its citizens slow down, and live more peacefully, maybe that is because West Lake is the city center, beautiful nature close for us to touch, why not avoid the city’s hubbub and enjoy our lives! So unlike Shanghai, people here are living a leisure life. Work is very important, but off work is more.
