Spring Festival living tips for foreigners
As Chinese New Year is coming, foreign readers share their tips on how to spend the festival in China. You're welcome to add your suggestions.
1.Don't travel during the holidays.
"Don’t travel during the holidays" is one golden rule that I have
followed for years, especially during Spring Festival as the traffic is
heavy. You can see a large army of Chinese passengers gather at
every train station.
2.Enjoy the dinner on New Year's Eve.
I always spend Spring Festival with a Chinese family, eating
dumplings, laughing and joking. I love the Chinese and there are no other people I would rather spend my time with.
3.Don't forget the hongbao.
Usually, I send money to friends by New Year red packets on my mobile phone. "Digital Hongbao" is more popular than traditional ones. People use QQ and WeChat to give hongbao instead of the traditional red packets.
4.Set off fireworks.
I really love to watch fireworks, for some reason they make us feel so excited! I’m really glad I’m here in China for the Chinese New Year, I've never seen so many fireworks in my life! I do wish people would be more careful, especially with their children. I always remind kids who are playing to keep away from some fireworks that I’m going off.
5.Watch the Spring Festival Gala.
While I don't understand Chinese, the show itself is very good. I was quite impressed (印象深刻的). The CCTV Spring Festival Gala is one of the most amazing TV shows from an artistic point of view.
