China celebrates Chinese New Year by having a long holiday (from 7 to 10 days), most people either go back to their hometowns to spend time with their relatives and catch up with childhood friends or travel abroad.   Red lanterns and red decorations take over temples, homes, and building’s gates.   The festivities are largely marked by large feasts, firecrackers, fireworks, and red envelopes. Older members of the family usually give the youngest a red envelope with money inside.   Here’s an interesting tradition: on the fifth day of the LunarNew Year, the whole family gathers to make dumplings; inside one of them they put a coin; whoever gets the dumpling with the coin during dinner is believed to have a very lucky New Year.
