The video "Hello! Spring Festival" by China Dailytells us what the Spring Festival is like in some foreigners' eyes.
"Chinese New Year is the most important festival in China, and the beautiful thing I like is the way we put up ‘Fu (福)' outside. We change the direction, and it means that Fu has already come, " said Emma, from France. Running a French restaurant in Hangzhou, Emma seems to know everything about it. Actually Barbara, a German designer who is running a children's wear brand in Shenyang, is full of praise for Chinese food, especially Yuanxiao (元宵). "We always prepare some handmade lanterns (灯笼) to celebrate the Lantern Festival, " she added, "This year for Chinese New Year I gave out some special Hongbao, but the most important thing is the money inside. "
Zhang Luka from Italy is a big fan of Chinese culture. He told us what his first experience with the Spring Festival was like. "At that time, I saw everyone leaving, taking big bags and going back home. All of a sudden, all the restaurants were closed and take-out food was pretty difficult to order as well. What an unbelievable story! Luckily, after the first year, I got to meet many Chinese friends and enjoyed the holidays in a Chinese way. This was the opportunity for me to really get close to Chinese culture. "
