These are two very different faces of the Lantern Festival in Taiwan.

These are two very different faces of the Lantern Festival in Taiwan. So, whichever appeals to your personality, you can head either north or south this year to join in the fun and festivities.

I wonder if I could replace "faces" in the above with "aspects/ways" without making a change in meaning?

Besides, is "in" within the bolded phrase dispensable? Thanks.

Thanks, Philip.

But as far as my knowlge of "join" and "join in" goes, their meanings and uses are not the same.

For instances,

May I join you? But not "May I join in you."

I want to join in their activity. But not "I want to join their activity."
