Lantern Festival Lights Up China as Spring Festival Celebrations Conclude
As the first full moon of the lunar new year rises on March 3 this year, China ushers in the Lantern Festival, marking the official end of the Spring Festival celebrations. Known as Yuanxiao Jie in Chinese, this centuries-old tradition falls on the 15th day of the first lunar month and carries profound cultural significance centered on light, reunion, and hope.
