The Festival of Lanterns takes place at the end of the Chinese New Year Celebration,on the fifteenth day of the first moon.Lanterns have been part of Chinese life for centuries so it's not surprising to see a festival of lanterns.
People usually hang lanterns in the gardens,outside the houses,and on the boats.These lanterns are signposts to guide guests and spirits of ancestors to the Lunar celebration.After a sumptuous fifteen-day feast,these lanterns light the way for the spirits back to the world beyond.
