The Asian Winter Games are currently underway in Harbin, the capital of China's Heilongjiang Province. This year's games coincide with the traditional Chinese Lantern Festival, providing a vibrant cultural backdrop to the sporting event. CGTN has invited delegates, media representatives, and athletes participating in the Games to join in the festivities. Participants have enjoyed crafting lanterns, learning lively folk dances, solving riddles, and making tangyuan, a type of glutinous rice ball. Yan Ho Tin, an ice hockey player from China's Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, shared that the event was a wonderful opportunity to showcase Chinese culture to attendees from various countries and regions.
