SHENYANG - Families across China prepared glutinous rice balls to celebrate Lantern Festival, known as Yuanxiao in Chinese, the last day of the two-week Chinese Lunar New Year celebrations.

Lantern Festival fell on Friday, the 15th day of the first month of the Chinese lunar calendar, when a full moon appears. The traditional treat, made of glutinous rice flour with a variety of sweet fillings, resemble a miniature full moon.

While glutinous rice balls are eaten all over China to celebrate the festival, methods for making them vary, and they have different names.
