Full moon, lanterns and romance

To understand China, sit down to eat. Food is the indestructible bond that holds the whole social fabric together and it is also one of the last strong visages of community and culture

The 15 days of the Spring Festival celebrations end with the first full moon of the year. There will be plenty of fireworks, crackers and a final burst of festive feasting.

Dish of the day will be the little round glutinous rice balls called yuanxiao, named after the festival itself.
