Visit Friends and Family During Chinese New Year

E-mailPrintShareSingle Page

On the second day of Chinese New Year families go out to visit their friends, and family. Traditionally the family first goes to visit the wife's family because New Year's Day is spent with the husband's family. Each family going out to visit friends and family take with them many gifts and are treated to many gifts when arriving. When visiting, fruit, alcohol, and cigarettes are given. Each home has many fruits and sweets prepared for visitors. After visiting the wife's family, friends are visited. Children are given Hongbao (Red Envelopes), which contain money. They are given to the children of each family that they visit. This is always the children's favorite part of the Chinese New Year. It is a great time to wish each person luck, joy, and abundance in the New Year.
