China has some traditional festivals like Mid-autumn Day, Dragon Boat Festival, Double Ninth Festival, The Lantern Festival and so on. I like the Lantern Festival best. It has a long history. People celebrate it on the fifteenth day of the first month of the lunar(农历的) year. The Lantern Festival is one of the biggest holidays in China. Some days before the Lantern Festival, people begin to make lanterns. People make lanterns in the shapes of different animals, vegetables, fruits and many other things. Usually people also write riddles(谜语) on the lanterns. It's very interesting. Then on the evening of the Lantern Festival, all the lanterns are hung up(悬挂).

   On the Lantern Festival, people usually eat sweet dumplings. And they go outside to have a look at the lanterns and guess the riddles on the lanterns. Often you can see some nice performances like the dragon dance and the lion dance. Everything is very interesting and everyone is very happy.
