Usher in prosperity together
The Lunar New Year is also known as the Spring Festival in China. It’s the country’s most important holiday and the cause of its busiest travel period. In fact, the Chinese have a term just for this rush to be home and spend the 15-day holiday with family: chunyun or spring migration.
