When Lantern Festival falls in scenic rural areas of Foshan, people would traditionally "jump over" the fire to wish for good blessings. Mir from India, who travelled to Foshan recently, has been blessed with the chance to try it out with local villagers in the historic Chishan Village, Lishui Town, Nanhai District. As they jumped over the wild-burning fire, they wished all joy, peace and wealth in the Chinese Year of Rabbit.
