The Lantern Festival is a Chinese festival. It usually falls in February or early March.
Lantern Festival is also called Yuanxiao Festival. The "yuan" in "yuanxiao" means" to start" and "xiao" means "night". The Lantern Festival is celebrated on the first full moon of the Chinese lunar calendar（农历）, that's why it is called Yuanxiao Festival.
At the Lantern Festival, people can see many different lanterns in homes, parks and streets. Most lanterns are red because people think red is a lucky colour. People often draw many pictures of birds or flowers on the lanterns to make them beautiful.
During the festival, people can eat Tangyuan and guess riddles（字谜）on the lanterns. At the same time, people may also see a dragon or lion dance. It's very interesting.
Riddles are very important at the festival. People often write riddles on the lanterns. If you know the answers, you can get presents.
