Red Envelopes - Lai see
Chinese New Year red envelopes are one of the favourite Chinese traditions for children on New Year’s Day. Do you enjoy meeting up with relatives and friends and showering them with blessings and good wishes to earn a red envelope with money inside?
Dinner with family
Do you love eating turnip cakes, nin gou, pork, chicken, veggies, sweets...? What a feast to start the year with! Moreover, you get to see and catch up with all your family members over who may be too busy throughout the year to meet. What a fantastic event!
Lion dance
One of the most colourful Chinese traditions of Chinese New Year, the lion dance is an essential part of the festive atmosphere that celebrates the start of the new year. Do you like to listen out for the music and gongs on the and then enjoy the show?
House Clean Up
This is everyone's favourite, isn't it? To get rid of all the bad luck gathered from the previous year, it is important to do a thorough clean up of the house before the New Year arrives. During the first three days of New Year, remember not to do any major cleaning or sweep the floor, otherwise you will sweep away any new good luck!
Flower Market
Heading out for a stroll with your family through the colourful and vibrant flower market and then returning home with a bouquet that attracts good fortune is a fantastic way to experience the new year. Other than lucky flowers and pot plants, there are also many traditional food stalls, Chinese New Year gifts and souvenirs. Do you agree?
New Year Banners
Writing messages with gold ink on red paper is the cool way to welcome in the new year. Known as Spring Festival couplets, these messages bear good wishes for vitality of life, happiness, wealth, and prosperity. Do you like writing your own couplets? or get a professional to do this for you.
Wishing tree
Have you visited the Lam Tsuen Wishing Tree in Tai Po during the new year before? Did you write your wish on joss paper and throw it onto the tree? It's believed that these wishes will come true if the joss paper doesn’t fall from the tree, and the higher that the joss paper lands on the tree, the easier it will be for your wish to come true.
