Before Chinese New Year, my parents and I usually set up the decorations before going to Malaysia to visit my grandparents and relatives.

Fish is traditionally eaten in Chinese New Year as it symbolises having more than enough every year.

In my country, Malaysia, many people celebrate Chinese New Year in different ways. Malays do not usually celebrate Chinese New Year as it is not part of their cultural heritage. I am however a Chinese Malaysian, so we do celebrate Chinese New Year. We do play with fireworks and have a giant family reunion. We even set up a one-hundred and eight foot long firecracker. It sounded like drops of rain pouring down onto a metal roof but much louder. Some shops in Malaysia are also closed during Chinese New Year as their owners are either taking a break or visiting their family. Some families also eat Yusheng (also called Lou sang). Yusheng is a dish eaten by Chinese Malaysians and Singaporeans which is tossed chopsticks before eating. It can get a little messy, but if food goes everywhere in the room the tossing is done incorrectly as it is meant to be tossed as high as possible (not in all directions possible). However, most Chinese families do not eat this.

I like Chinese New Year because it is very interesting! You can do a lot of activities during Chinese New Year that you cannot do during other times of the year. And it also has a very interesting story behind it! You can visit family and friends, visit a flower market, watch parades, lion dances and even fireworks! There are also delicious things that you can’t eat every day! Like turnip cakes and red date cake. I wish everyone a Happy Chinese New Year!

1. Before Chinese New Year, my family will clean the house (sweep the floor, wipe the floor and also the window, throw away the old things, and put away the new things). It is hard work, but I still need to do it because it is a tradition. You must do it before Chinese New Year because if you do it at Chinese New Year, you will sweep away the good luck. Also, you need to hang and stick the red decorations on the wall or the door.

2. We eat dinner with our family. We eat seafood (fish (symbol for plenty), prawns......), vegetables (broccoli, gai lan (Chinese broccoli), and a lot more)...... And for dessert, we have sweet rice cakes and sweet rice balls. We also go to our relatives to get red envelopes. There are also lion dances and fireworks.

3. Celebrating Chinese New Year helps people feel connected to their culture because people can do traditional things.

4. We will go to the flower market (Mongkok Flower Market) to buy flowers and different things. There are Chrysanthemums, Orchids, Lucky Bamboo, Mandarin oranges... This year we bought Chrysanthemum, Orchid, and a lot more. We had a very good time. Some other flower markets also have stalls that sell food. There are fish balls, popcorn, drinks, ice cream...

5. It is important to celebrate and respect different cultural holidays because we all know that we are all together.

Thank you for looking at my writing, and please like it.

Happy New Year!

My family don't celebrate CNY because we are Ukrainian. But we just have fun together on the holidays. I've also made the craft paper Ms tse gave me in the following image (I lost the red paper so I made one my own so pls Ms tse don't be mad at me). And on the fair, I bought a cute capybara plush with a duck floatie. Which I successfully bargained from 38$ to 28$. (And on the image, I also forced my dog to take a photo with those two things)

I prepare for Chinese New Year by cleaning up my room, helping my parents put up red decoration and go shopping with Mum to buy new clothes for me.

Some common customs and traditions during Chinese New Year are: having a big reunion dinner, giving and receiving red packets, visiting relatives and watching lion dances. People also avoid unlucky words and pray at temples for blessings.

foods that are traditionally eaten during Chinese New Year are:

Fish, dumplings, sweet rice cakes, oranges and turnip cakes. They symbolise abundance, wealth, success, good luck and prosperity respectively.

Celebrating Chinese New Year help people feel connected to their culture by helping us learn traditions, spending time with family and feeling proud of our heritage. It also reminds us of important values like unity and respect.

In Hong Kong, we celebrate New Year by visiting Lunar New Year fairs and watching fireworks. I love collecting red packets.

It is important to celebrate and respect different cultural holidays because it helps us understand and respect others. Learning about different cultures brings people together and creates a more harmonious world.

1)A few days before Chinese New Year, people clean their houses, which symbolises the sweeping away of all the bad luck of the old year, and prepare a fresh start for the new year

2)People decorate their houses by putting up spring couplets, small red and gold banners with messages of good luck, on the walls or around the doorways.

3)On Chinese New Year's Eve, people usually go home to have the most significant reunion dinner with their family members. The traditional dishes served during the festival are rich, diverse and symbolic. For example, fish represent surplus or abundance. As for fried prawns, they symbolise laughter or happiness. Sweet rice balls mean family togetherness. People eat these traditional dishes together and enjoy each other's company.

4)On the first day of Chinese New Year, people usually visit their relatives and friends with festive gifts. It is important to serve people with "lucky" food placed in an exquisitely decorated candy box, the "tray of togetherness". Each tray is filled with candies such as sugared lotus seeds, candied winter melon, chocolate coins or roasted red melon seeds. These sugary treats symbolise the wish to be healthy, wealthy and happy throughout the year. Children greet their grandparents.

5)In my country of Pakistan historically we do not celebrate New Years but we pray to have a blessed New Year.

6)If you don’t celebrate Chinese New Year because you are from other countries like Pakistan you have to just respect and be respectful to others as they are from China and Chinese New Years are important to them.

7)I have done Fai Chun writing and made a lantern.

Chinese New Year is a very special time in Hong Kong. One of the best parts is watching the fireworks over Victoria Harbour. The sky lights up with bright colours, and it looks amazing!

Another fun activity is the night parade. There are many colorful floats and exciting performances. People dance with lion costumes and play loud music. Everyone is happy and excited!

Watching the fireworks and the parade with family makes it even more special ! I remember when I was a little girl, my parents brought me to Tsim Sha Tsui to watch the fireworks to celebrate and welcome the new year!
