在慶祝元旦的當兒，我們到烏特勒支欣賞中國花燈（官方網頁：點此）。這些來自四川自貢的大型花燈，照亮了烏特勒支大學的植物園區，吸引了非常多民眾來遊園。看了許多朋友分享的照片，我也興致勃勃，於是約了家公家婆一起去賞燈，順便讓兩老近距離接觸下花燈文化。
Chinese people celebrate the Lantern Festival at the first full moon of a Chinese new year. China Light Utrecht is an Chinese light festival that has been organised at the Botanic Gardens in de Uithof/Utrecht University (Official website: click here). I have been attracted by the photos of many friends, and decided to visit this festival with Bart and his parents during this new year holiday. This is also a good chance to let them learn more about Chinese tradition and culture.
