An amazing festival experience

This was my first time spending the Lantern Festival with my classmates, which was an unforgettable experience for me. The Lantern Festival falls on the fifteenth day of the first month of the lunar year. The custom of joyfully celebrating the Lantern Festival began as early as the Western Han Dynasty, and still has a great influence on Chinese people today.

During the festival, there were lanterns of various shapes and sizes hanging throughout streets, attracting countless visitors. Lantern shows were also organized, which created a festive atmosphere. What impressed me most was guessing riddles, as riddle guessing was interesting and full of wisdom.Many of the lanterns had riddles written on them and we couldn't wait to go to the owners to check our answers. At last, we received a little gift,extremely excited.

We also ate tangyuan, which tasted sweet and delicious. Tangyuan in Chinese has a pronunciation similar to tuanyuan and the round shape represents reunion, harmony and happiness.Besides,we set off fireworks and watched the Dragon Dance.

With my classmates, I spent an exciting and meaningful Lantern Festival. And I'm looking forward to the next festival.
