Most families start their preparations by buying lots of delicacies such as dried mushrooms, abalone, shark’s fin, silver ears, birds’ nests, cured sausages, duck and a large selection of dried vegetables. There are lots of fireworks to celebrate the ringing in of the New Year and then there is the New Year’s Feast. Each day has a different tradition, children are given ‘lucky money’ in little red envelopes by their parents and grandparents.
