A performer entertains passengers aboard a high-speed train traveling from Qiqihar to Tianjin yesterday with a face-changing act, a 300-year-old performance art originating from Chengdu in Sichuan Province. The show was part of a themed celebration in honor of the upcoming Lantern Festival, which falls on tomorrow this year. Also known as the Shangyuan Festival, it marks the final day of the traditional Chinese New Year celebrations. During the festival, Chinese people enjoy glutinous rice dumplings, also known as tangyuan, which symbolize happiness and family reunion.Xinhua
