Geocache Description:

24 February 2024, 18:00 - 19:00

The Lantern Festival is a traditional Chinese festival that changes every year with the Lunar calendar. It usually falls in February and this year, it takes place on February 24. It signifies the last day of the traditional Chinese New Year celebrations. Even as early as the Western Han Dynasty,  it was already celebrated as a festivity with great importance. During the Lantern Festival in ancient times, the lanterns were moderately simple. It was just the emperor and great noblemen who had large elegant lanterns. In modern times, lanterns have become enhanced with several complex designs. Some lanterns are now frequently made in the shape of animals.

Noin ulkomailla. Koska on varsin epätodennäköistä, että yli miljardi kiinalaista voisi olla väärässä, niin voitaneen juhlistaa uuttavuotta vielä toiseenkin kertaan. Kokoonnutaan ilmoitetuissa koordinaateissa ja harjoitetaan illan pimeydessä geolöpinää. Alue on avoin, joten säätila antaa miittailumukavuuteen oman mausteensa.  Varustautumisen suhteen on siksi syytä olla tarkkana. Omia lyhtyjä voi halutessaan ottaa mukaan, jolloin 'oikeinmiittailuun' on paremmat edellytykset. Tervetuloa!
