The most important celebration holiday in China is the Lunar New Year. At this time, shops are closed. People celebrate by having parties, by paying friendly phone calls to their neighbors, and
by visiting the temples or pagodas to make promise for the New Year. Children walk through the streets, carrying colourful lanterns and paper figures. Fireworks are also set off to light up the
sky. The time of the New Year is also the time at which Chinese people decorate their homes for example, the windows, which are made of thick rice paper are torn down and new ones are put up. This is also the time during which people pay their debts. Everyone tries to settle all his bills before the beginning of the New Year. Before New Year’s Eve, people make their homes attractive by decorating them with flowers and plants, and hanging brightly- coloured decorations.
