e New Year is on (the first day of the first month in the Chinese calendar). We can have some Red envelopes(lucky money in red envelopes), or we can have some firecrackers
In the Gregorian calendar, Chinese New Year falls on different dates each year, a date usually between January 21 and February 20.
Markets
Markets or village fairs are set up as the New Year is approaching. These usually open-air markets feature new year related products such as flowers, toys, clothing, and even fireworks. It is convenient for people to buy gifts for their new year visits as well as their home decoration. In some places, the practice of shopping for the perfect plum tree is not dissimilar to the Western tradition of buying a Christmas tree.
Fireworks
Each firecracker is rolled up in red papers, red is auspicious for chiniese, with gunpowder in its core.
Clothing
Clothing mainly featuring the colour red or bright colors is commonly worn throughout the Chinese New Year because red will scare away evil spirits and bad fortune.
