Unwrap the magic of Chinese New Year (CNY) traditions with this tour! With CNY just around the corner, it’s the perfect time to immerse yourself in the joy and traditions of the season. But beyond the festivities, have you ever wondered why we celebrate the way we do?
Join this engaging tour to uncover the cultural practices that have been handed down through generations. As times change, many of these customs are fading, despite the efforts of clans, associations, and huay kuans to preserve them. Together, we’ll revisit the rich traditions that define CNY and explore their meanings.
From the rituals of foods, fruits, and red packets to the superstitions surrounding banking on auspicious days, this tour will walk you through the essence of what makes this festival so unique. You’ll also learn the significance of practices observed throughout the 15 days of Chinese New Year.
Whether you’re a foreign visitor, a curious local, or a family eager to teach younger generations about our heritage, this tour promises to be a lively and educational experience. Bring your children along – it’s a wonderful way to share the stories behind the traditions we hold dear.
