Guide: Now, everyone, when we turn this next corner, you'll all have a real treat for the eyes.
Man 1: Wow! These lanterns are amazing!
Woman: Excuse me, Miss Lin. Can you tell me what's written on the pieces of paper? Are they wishes?
Guide: Not exactly. They're riddles for people to guess. If you guess correctly, you can get a nice gift.
Woman: Oh, what a nice idea!
Man 2: What else can Chinese people do during this festival?
Guide: Oh, they can do many things. They can watch the dragon and lion dances, and also eat yuanxiao with their family. Yuanxiao is a kind of sweet dumpling. The Chinese word “yuan” means “family unity and happiness.”
