Chinese have a word: "re nao" that they use often to describe a good celebration. It's one of those words that doesn't really translate in the fullest sense. I think it would literally translate as "hot time" but it seems to be used for the concept of "noisy fun." To have both a good Chinese New Year and Lantern Festival a lot of re nao is needed. I've left both videos with the soundtrack mostly untouched, edited only for smoothness, so you can get the full sense of a Chinese celebration.
Both holidays were last month so I'm a little late getting this done.
Enjoy!
