A diary about the Lantern Festival
February 18, 2023 Today was the Lantern Festival, one of the traditional Chinese festivals, and the first full moon after the new year. On this day, people usually eat glutinous rice balls, admire lanterns, guess lantern riddles, and so on. This morning, my family and I went to the Tangyuan shop to eat Tangyuan. Tangyuan is a traditional Chinese food made from glutinous rice flour. It is soft and sweet. We ordered a few different flavors including sesame, red beans and osmanthus. They all tasted good. After eating the glutinous rice balls, we went to a lantern shop to enjoy many beautiful lanterns. There were many kinds of lanterns, including animals, people, flowers, and so on. The colorful lanterns were dazzling. My favorite is a blue dolphin. It looks very realistic. In the afternoon, we went to an amusement park and played many interesting games. I tried roller coasters, merry-go-rounds and other exciting games. I also played a lot of interesting interaction games such as guessing lantern riddles and playing lanterns. In the evening, we watched the Lantern Festival party at home, listened to melodious music, and enjoyed the wonderful performances. It was very enjoyable. Finally, we had a sumptuous dinner to celebrate the Lantern Festival. Today is a wonderful holiday. I spent an unforgettable night with my family. I hope that I can continue to be happy and spend more holidays with my family in the future.
