Chinese New Year

So in China, they have two New Years. The first is the regular new year while the other is called the Chinese New Year or Lunar New Year or Spring Festival. This event lasts for two weeks and usually occurs in late January or early February. There is so much going on at that time. What the Chinese people do is they exchange red envelopes full of money and do some dancing as well. My favourite dance is the dragon dance which is super cool. And there is red everywhere because the Chinese believe that red is lucky but there are also other colours but mainly red. But the best bit is when it is the last day of the Chinese new year when they release the red lanterns.
