This year's Lantern Festival coincided with the Asian Winter Games, which made this event a blend of intangible cultural heritages and sporting spirits.
Media reporters, staff members, and volunteers came together to partake in festive activities at Yabuli Media Center on Feb 12, 2025. They wrote the Chinese character fu (blessing), crafted lanterns, engaged in lantern riddle guessing, and wrapped yuanxiao (sweet glutinous rice balls).
The Lantern Festival falls on the 15th day of the first lunar month. It marks the end of the Chinese New Year celebrations and is a time for families to come together, enjoying the beauty of lanterns and the joyous atmosphere.
