Have you ever celebrated a festival during a sports event? 🏂 Well, that’s exactly what’s happening at the Asian Winter Games in Harbin, China! 🐉
The games are not only about ice and snow sports like skiing and skating, but athletes and delegates are also joining in the fun of the traditional Chinese Lantern Festival! 🏮✨
CGTN invited everyone to a special celebration where they crafted beautiful lanterns, learned lively folk dances 🕺, solved tricky riddles 🤔, and even made tangyuan (delicious glutinous rice balls)! 😋
“It’s a wonderful opportunity to share Chinese culture with friends from different countries and regions,” said Yan Ho Tin, a curling player from China’s Hong Kong Special Administrative Region.
The Lantern Festival marks the end of the Chinese New Year celebrations. People light up colorful lanterns, enjoy sweet tangyuan, and wish for a bright future. 🌟
By celebrating together, athletes and delegates are not only competing in sports but also building friendships and understanding different cultures. Isn’t that awesome? 🤗
