Festive China: lanterns to illuminate night of Lantern Festival

People visit a light show for celebrating the lunar New Year in Bayan Nur in north China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, Feb. 20, 2018. Lantern Festival, when the first full moon of a lunar new year appears, marks the end of the Spring Festival celebrations. Traditionally, Chinese people make lanterns to celebrate this festival, which symbolize reunion and carry their wishes. Nowadays, modern lanterns are designed to illuminate the night and create a festive atmosphere. (Xinhua/Zhi Maosheng)
