Happy Lantern Festival!

Today is a holiday called "Lantern Festival" - it marks the end of Spring festival and usually, during this time family members in China will get together. They eat a special food named “Yuan Xiao” – a ball-shaped, sweet-tasting food with sesame powder inside. After dinner, people try to solve the puzzles on the lanterns. TBC informed us of this holiday today, and if you want to know more, here's some websites:
