People holding benches take part in a dragon lantern dance in celebration of the coming Lantern Festival, which falls on Feb. 22 this year, at Haikou Town in Dexing City, east China's Jiangxi province, Feb. 16, 2016. The dragon lantern was made from simple benches and lanterns. Local people take part in the dance for good fortune and happiness in the new year. Dated back to Tang Dynasty (618-907), the folk custom was included in the first batch of China's state-level intangible cultural heritage list in 2006. [China.org.cn/Photo by Zhuo Zhongwei]
