Lantern Festival in Taiwan

Jairam Poupart February 8, 2020

The Lantern Festival marks the end of the Chinese New Year celebrations and is held on the 15th day of the first month of the Chinese Lunar Calender. Also named Yuan Xiao, this celebration is held on the first full moon of the New Year and symbolizes the coming of Spring.

It is an important celebration all around Asia. Family come together to gaze at the moon, solve riddles, drink wine, write poetry, assist at lion dances and dragon dances and of course; light lanterns. It is a time of socializing, freedom and religious belief.

This year, in 2020, the Lantern Festival will be held on the 8th of February in the Gregorian Calender.
