Chinese New Year

Last two weeks it has been Chinese New Year, the Spring Festival. In my hometown Guangzhou city, we have got some flower markets in every district to celebrate the Spring Festival for three days in advance. We build beautiful archway in front of the flower markets and decorate with colourful lights. Guangzhou city is also called the city of flower as we love flowers and we also believe that flowers can bring good luck to us. So we buy many flowers, such as daffodils, peach blossoms, orchids, little tangerine trees and so on.
People always bless each other during the Spring Festival. The married people should give lucky money to the children and the single people to give all the best wishes to them.
The Chinese New Year Festival finishes at the day of the 15th of the first lunar month.
