Dazzling fish-shaped lanterns lit up the night sky in Huizhou, East China's Anhui Province, on Monday, March 2, the eve of the Lantern Festival, which falls on the fifteenth day of the first month in the traditional Chinese calendar. Accompanied by bursts of fireworks, locals and visitors made heartfelt wishes for a prosperous new year. The parade with fish-shaped lanterns is an important folk cultural activity in the region. The fish—symbolizing abundance, good fortune, and prosperity—has long been revered as an auspicious emblem. (Produced by Lu Dong and intern Cui Jianing)
