On the same day, Silk Mandarin Suzhou campus also planned some interesting Lantern Festival activities for everyone to experience the culture.
We enjoyed dressing in beautiful Hanfu (traditional Chinese dress from Han dynasty), making Yuanxiao & lanterns by ourselves. We completed cultural tasks and tasted traditional Suzhou cuisine together in a quaint marketplace called Haishi Shantang 海市山塘. We had so much fun celebrating Lantern Festival with our Silk family and friends!
