Most street, building, and house is decorated with red. Red lanterns hang in streets, Red couplets and red Fu Character are pasted on doors, buildings are decorated with red New Year pictures depicting images of prosperity.
Chinese New Year is a special time for families to be together. Wherever you are , you are expected to back home from work or study to celebrate the festival with families, the Chinese people will return home even if traveling across a long distance, so you will see the transportation is greatly crowded , especially the railway which it is very difficult to obtain a ticket during the Spring Festival Rush (also called Chunyun in Chinese) .
At the New Year's Eve (last day of last lunar month), family members will sit together to enjoy the rich food which called "reunion dinner" . After the dinner, families often sit together and chat happily, setting off firecrackers, giving lucky money to children as New Year gifts , ringing the New Year bell and sending Chinese New Year greetings to relatives and friends , and staying up late to watch CCTV's New Year Gala to wait the New Year's coming .
