Visit the temple fair with lanterns.

Once again, spring returns. On the evening of January, the flower market lights like day.
After beginning of spring’s Lantern Festival, it was warm and cold, and the flowers were not in bloom. Colorful lanterns give the Lantern Festival a spring-like splendor.
The moon is high in the sky, and there are thousands of lanterns on the ground. In ancient times, girls who stayed indoors on weekdays went out to enjoy lanterns and visit temple fairs on the Lantern Festival.
