Chinese New Year

Chinese New Year is the start of a new year on the lunar calendar. It is celebrated by most Chinese not only in Singapore but all over the world. It’s usually in February but that depends on the lunar calendar. Chinese New Year is a 15 day tradition where in these 15 days you can visit relatives and friends to pay respects. Married couples would give children what we call a “Hong Pao” it’s basically a red packet with money.
