Many facets of Lantern Festival across China

An event named Zou Gushi is held in Luofang village in Fujian province, Feb 24, 2013. It is a local carnival during the Lantern Festival where young men carry deities played by children sitting on wooden frames and fixed on iron poles. After a race on dry ground, the teams run into shallow rivers and rush upstream. [Photo/Asianewsphoto]
