During the Lunar New Year, people celebrate with food, festive music, red envelopes and lion dances. The lions dancing symbolize fortune and luck for the new year as they dance to the beat of the drum and cymbals. Be warned though because the streets are jam packed as people are trying to catch glimpses of the lions.

Happy New Year! May the Year of the Tiger ferociously roar for your fortune and health.
