The Asian Winter Games are lighting up Harbin, China's Heilongjiang Province, as they coincide with the vibrant Chinese Lantern Festival. Delegates, media representatives, and athletes from around the globe came together for a night of cultural celebration, organized by CGTN.
Participants dove into the festivities by crafting beautiful lanterns, learning colorful folk dances, solving traditional riddles, and making delicious tangyuan (glutinous rice balls) 🏮🍡. These activities not only provided fun and relaxation but also fostered a deeper appreciation of Chinese traditions.
Yan Ho Tin, an ice hockey player from China's Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, shared, \"This event is a wonderful opportunity to showcase Chinese culture to participants from different countries and regions. It's amazing to see everyone coming together and enjoying the festivities together!\"
The celebration highlights the spirit of unity and cultural exchange that the Asian Winter Games aim to promote. ✨❄️
