The Chinese Lunar New Year is the ultimate holiday for Chinese worldwide. In East Asia it is the one time of the year when businesses and factories close. The world’s largest annual migration unfolds as millions return to their family home, filling every seat on airplanes, and packing themselves into overflowing trains, buses and cars. Red envelopes filled with cash are exchanged and fireworks light up the night skies as families and friends are reunited, sharing meals that include dumplings, sticky rice and many other culinary treats.
This year, the Chinese New Year will fall on January 23. It provides a perfect opportunity to build friendships with Chinese people in your community.
