Spring Festival

Spring Festival is usually in late January or early February. It is the first day of the Chinese year. This is a very special for all Chinese people.
Before the festival, people are busy. They clean their houses and go shopping for food, presents and new clothes. In Guangzhou people go to the flower markets to look at all the beautiful flowers. Many people buy flowers, too. On the evening before Spring Festival, people usually have a big supper with their family. After supper, they watch TV or go out. At Spring Festival people go and visit their friends and family. They eat nice food. The children love this time. They can get ‘lucky money’.
In Thailand a very big festival is the Water Festival. It is the beginning of their New Year. It is usually at the end of March or the beginning of April.
Before the Water Festival, people clean their houses and cook nice food. When the Water Festival begins, people throw water all over friends and everyone gets very wet.
