Lantern Festival, also known as Yuan Xiao Festival in Chinese, falls on the 15th day of the first lunar month and marks the first full moon in a Chinese Lunar New Year. People celebrate this festival by making thousands of dazzlingly colorful lanterns, trying to solve the puzzles on the lanterns, eating yuanxiao (glutinous rice ball) and getting all their families united in the joyful atmosphere. This year the annual celebration comes on March 5.
