Lesson Idea: Hi Team,
With Spring Festival/Lantern Festival just around the corner, I would be interested in a lesson that explains the tradition of Lantern Riddles (灯谜). It would be great if you could give some examples too. Thank you!

Hello,

Interesting suggestion! I searched for lessons on this topic in our database, and we do have an upper-intermediate lesson with some lantern riddles. Check it out if you haven’t!

I also looked up some more riddles for you:

Try your best to guess them and let me know if you know the answers!

Hope this helps:)
