Before the holiday people should clean and decorate their houses to attract luck. Besides a rich feast, the New Year’s Eve is celebrated with fireworks.

Windows and doors are decorated with red signs, also the members of the families exchange envelopes with money.
According to the Chinese Lunar Calendar, 2016 is the year of the Fire Monkey. The Monkey successfully solves problems and overcomes difficulties while demonstrating independence.
