The scent of dumplings filled the air, the soft glow of lanterns illuminated excited faces, and laughter echoed through the halls of the Chinese Consulate General in Los Angeles on Wednesday.

Nearly 100 young Americans gathered to celebrate the Lantern Festival through an event titled "Experiencing China", immersing themselves in Chinese culture through activities like calligraphy, crafting lanterns and savoring traditional rice balls, which symbolizes togetherness and reunion.

Cameron McCarthy, a student from Geffen Academy at UCLA, confidently named and ordered all 12 Chinese zodiac animals in a Q&A session. Her quick response earned praise and a gift from Chinese Consul General Guo Shaochun and his wife, Madam Wang Wei.

The couple, who hosted the event, engaged with students to deepen their understanding of the history, customs, and cultural significance of the Spring Festival.

McCarthy, whose name in Mandarin is "Marui", said she has been studying the Chinese language for four years now, which allows her to communicate effectively with people from Chinese backgrounds.

"Learning about Chinese culture has been an incredible experience for me," McCarthy told China Daily. "I am excited to explore Chinese history and society as well. I hope to travel to China someday, and I really want to study China when I go to college."

Ana Diaz from Westridge School in Pasadena said her school always organizes a small festival to promote cultural exchange. "It's a great experience for the entire Western community to come together and learn about Chinese culture," she said.

Ethan, a student from East College, tried his hand at writing the Chinese character for "dog", his zodiac sign. "It was a little difficult since it's my first time using a Chinese brush, but I'm proud I completed it," he said, showing his handwriting to China Daily.

"I think in Chinese culture, the dog represents loyalty and friendliness. I have Chinese friends at school, and I enjoy learning about different traditions."

After students from Westridge School in Pasadena and Geffen Academy at UCLA performed the dances Grand Ear and Kung Fu Fan, respectively, the room filled with applause and cheers.
