NOUVEL AN CHINOIS

Parades take place on the seafront between Central and Wan Chai. We visit his family and friends, the big people give the children of laisee, "lucky money" in small red envelopes. The ancestors are honored by abundant offerings of food. A huge firework fire is fired over Victoria Harbour (the second day of the new lunar year). The windows are decorated and the streets of Central in Hong Kong Island and Tsim Sha Tsui in Kowloon are illuminated. In the flower markets of Victoria Park (on Hong Kong Island) and in various places in Kowloon and New Territories, plum flowers, chrysanthemum, daffodils, fruits and sweets contribute to the new year's atmosphere of joy. Peach sprouts and the kumquat tree, symbols of wealth, power and luck, are sold at very high prices.
