Happy Lantern Festival
Today is the Lantern Festival which marks the end of the Chinese New Year period. Here are some video's I found on YouTube showing some of the celebrations around Taiwan.
The first one shows the main lantern in Chiai.
Next is a short movie showing the various lanterns in Taichung.
And finally is the activation of the main lantern in Taipei.
It is the tradition today to eat rice balls filled with different sweet fillings like red bean or peanut paste (yum!). So I'm off to a Chinese grocer to buy some.
