Two of our Hungry Hikers lived in Hong Kong for many years, so they organised our own little celebration after a late afternoon walk along the Scarborough waterside. We were lucky to have fine weather and a beautiful full moon joining us.
The Lantern Festival marks the end of the Chinese New Year holiday. Also called Yuan Xiao Festival, it is celebrated in China and other Asian countries to honour deceased ancestors on the 15th day of the first month (Yuan) of the lunar calendar. Over the years, the festival has developed multiple meanings. It celebrates family reunions, socialising and freedom, while also featuring ancient spiritual traditions.
