Lantern riddles


Lantern riddles are an essential part of the annual festival. The practice initially emerged during the Song Dynasty (960-1279). Lantern owners write riddles on pieces of paper and attach them to the lanterns. If visitors have a solution to a riddle, they can remove the paper and go to the lantern owner to check their answer. If they are right, they will receive a small prize.
