Away from the Olympics, a much more important festival is taking place in China this Tuesday: the Lantern Festival, or Yuanxiao Festival (元宵节, Yuánxiāojié). On this day, huge lantern shows are held, with zodiac signs being especially popular. And so this year, children in Wenzhou are making tiger lanterns. It is the closing of the New Year festival in China, which lasts several days.
