One possible version： I participate in the Lantern Festival Celebration on every 15th day of the first lunar month. In the daytime, performances such as dragon lantern dances, lion dances, land boat performances and the Yangge are staged. At night, apart from magnificent lantern shows, firework show is another beautiful scene. There are also activities, including lantern riddle guessing and a variety of cultural performances. It's a wonderful opportunity to experience traditional Chinese culture and festivities.
