Colorful lanterns light up the city streets, and parades are held to close the Chinese New Year festivities.
The Chinese have been celebrating the Lantern Festival since the Han dynasty (-202 to 221). Celebrated on the fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year, it officially closes the Chinese New Year festivities. In the past, the souls of visiting ancestors were led back to the other world, symbolized by the lighting of lanterns throughout the country. Also known as "Chinese Valentine's Day", Hong Kong's streets are covered in colorful lanterns, parades are held and sweet rice dumplings(tang yuan) are eaten.
