The Lantern Festival in China traditionally concludes New Year celebrations with a grand display of lanterns illuminated at night, symbolizing the return of brightness and hope. Families participate by making their own lanterns, inscribing riddles on them, and displaying them during the festivities. Cultural activities such as dragon dances and lion dances are also common, creating a vibrant, festive atmosphere. The festival reinforces family unity and heralds a period of renewal, marking an important transition in the lunar calendar.
