• In fact, CNY is a festival for family reunion. All the families will get reunioned during the festival in spite of any reasons. Therefore, there may be not much celebrating activities and you won't get well involved in the festival.

• That's right Frank, CNY is a festival more for family reunion. Chinese Lantern Festival right follows the Spring Festival(also called Chinese New Year). It is more ebullient and recreational. Rich and colorful activities will be held, including watching lanterns and fireworks, guessing lantern riddles, performing folk dances etc... In the parks, lanterns of various shapes and types attract countless visitors. Therefore, Lantern Festival is more enjoyable for travelers to get involved in..
