Spring Festival: Celebrating Together in Singapore and China 🎉
Have you ever wondered how people celebrate the Spring Festival in different countries? 🌏 The Spring Festival, also known as Chinese New Year, is a special time of year when families come together to welcome the new lunar year. It’s a big celebration in both the Chinese mainland and Singapore! 🏮🇸🇬
Family Reunions 🍽️
One of the most important traditions during the Spring Festival is the reunion dinner. Families gather to enjoy delicious meals, share stories, and spend time together.

Decorations Everywhere! 🏮
During the festival, people decorate their homes with red lanterns and spring couplets. Red is a lucky color that symbolizes happiness and good fortune.

Maybe you’ve seen these decorations in your neighborhood! ✨
