Travel with me #43: Let's take a visit to the biggest Lantern Festival Carnival in China

Dear Steemit Friends:

Imgur
The Spring Festival marking a new Lunar year lasts for 15 days. At the end of the 15 days as the spring festival draws to a close, the lantern festival celebrates the end of this festive period and officially starts the new year. Today, I'm taking my Steemit friends to celebrate the end of the Spring Festival with a visit to the very joyous lantern festival held here in Xi'an.

The Lantern Festival originated from the Han Dynasty, to this day, it has a history of around 2000 years. On this day, it is customary for each household to go out at night and admire the full moon, but aside from watching one of natures most beautiful objects in the sky, the lantern festival is also about enjoying the wonderful lantern displays, and guessing the little riddles on the lanterns. This lantern festival can be called the Chinese Carnival.

In Chinese, the lantern festival is actually called 'Yuan Xiao'. But since the lantern festival is the final event of the Spring Festival, it is now more commonly known as the lantern festival. Originally, lanterns were lit in the Han Dynasty as a form of respect to Buddha, but it is also a way to receive good blessings for the future.

Even though the temperature was -5 degrees C tonight, it wasn't enough to deter everyone from visiting the Lantern festival carnival on this special day.

The Tang Paradise in Xi'an is where the Lantern Festival Carnival is held. Here, they use sound, light, electricity and other high-tech contraptions to create these wonderful lantern displays infusing folk customs, traditional Chinese customs and elements of the Spring Festival together in one incredible light show. Now lets take a walk into the Tang Paradise and soak up this very cultural display of art. This particular Lantern Festival Carnival is known as the most beautiful one throughout all of China.

By the entrance gate, there was this super huge display which caught my attention. It's actually of a bottle of alcohol that is distinguished in this area of Shaanxi. It's called 'Xi Feng Jiu'.

This is a picture of one of these Xi Feng Jiu bottles I took in a restaurant before. Doesn't it look simi
