Festivals, Parties & Celebrations
|
|
|
|
The oldest and most important festival in China is the Spring Festival, more commonly known in the West as Chinese New Year. Like all Chinese festivals, the date of the new year is determined by the lunar calendar rather than the Western calendar, so the date of the holiday varies from late January to early February.

On New Year's Eve houses are brightly lit and a large family dinner is served. In the south of China sticky-sweet rice pudding called nian gao is served, while in the north the steamed dumpling jiaozi is popular.

|
Most celebrating the festival stay up till midnight, when fireworks are lit, to drive away evil spirits. New Years day is often spent visiting neighbours, family and friends.
