Event 1: Lantern Festival garden party

Are you ready to experience annual customs activities with Hangzhou community residents?Here, you will have the opportunity to immerse yourself in a vibrant array of traditional activities. For instance, there will be sugar blowing—an ancient folk art where skilled artisans transform molten sugar into lifelike animals and intricate shapes. You can also try making traditional rice cakes, which symbolize “reaching new heights” in Chinese culture, embodying the hope for a better year ahead. Additionally, there will be woodblock printing, a traditional craft that captures the essence of ancient Chinese culture. You can choose Year of the Snake designs and create your own woodblock print to take home as a beautiful keepsake.
Beyond these, you can join in the classic Lantern Festival activities. Try your hand at lantern making, where you can craft your own colorful lanterns to light up the night. Participate in the traditional riddle-guessing game, where cleverly worded clues are written on lanterns, challenging your wit and creativity. And of course, no Lantern Festival is complete without enjoying yuanxiao—sweet glutinous rice balls filled with various delicious fillings, symbolizing family togetherness and harmony.

The Lantern Festival is not only a traditional Chinese holiday but also a cultural feast for people around the world. We look forward to lighting lanterns, solving riddles, and enjoying delicious yuanxiao with you, creating a warm and unforgettable evening together!
