Chinese New Year, also known as Spring Festival, is the most important traditional festival in China.

It is celebrated on the first day of the lunar calendar, which usually falls between late January and mid February.

During this festive season, families gather together to have a big feast and exchange red envelopes, which contain money, as a symbol of good luck.

People also clean their homes, put up decorations and set off firecrackers to scare off evil spirits and bring good fortune.

Dragon and lion dances are also performed to mark the occasion and bring happiness and prosperity to all.

It is a time for reunion and renewal, and reminds us of the importance of family, tradition and cultural heritage.
