Chinese New Year's Eve 

The bustle at the markets selling colorful spring couplets and all other New Year's decorations beginning a month before CNY, everyone start preparing for Chinese New Year, creating an atmosphere of joy and renewal.

Spent half a year with the family and relative, a time of gratitude and family togetherness, our New Year's Eve is spent by bidding farewell to the old year and thanking one's ancestors and the gods for their blessing and protection. Children who have left their hometowns return on this day to share New Year's Eve Dinner with their families.

On the Chinese New Year Eve's night, the parents and older generation give New Year's money to the children, who have been waiting with growing anticipation for this moment to arrive. Finally, with the family to watch the old year out and bring in the new year, families stay up until the wee hours of New Year's Day.
