Happy Chinese New Year
With theSpring Festival holiday starting on 11 February, have you decided how you’ll be spending your vacation?
COVID-19 is still putting a damper on everyone’s travel plans, so this year, going back home or taking a trip overseas may not be an option.
But staying in Suzhou can also be fun - meeting with friends, going out for dinner, watching a movie or visiting historical attractions can all make for a special Chinese New Year.
And throwing around a few native greetings during the holiday season may bring you some unexpected surprises. We’ve prepared this holiday greeting phrase guide to help you sound like a local this Spring Festival.
