HAPPY LUNAR NEW YEAR!!! 龙马精神! 马到成功! 新年快乐!

 

It's the time of the year again for red packets, family gatherings, and lots and lots of goodies. But perhaps one of the most fascinating aspects of CNY culture is the myriad of superstitions and beliefs surrounding the holiday.

Tune in to find out more.
