Discover Your Own China TourHi Sandy, yes I'm back home in Toronto and getting back into my routine.
The tour was excellent and Justin was very knowledgeable. Also you did a fantastic job organizing the trip, it was greatly appreciated.
If I do ever come back to Beijing to visit I would use your tour company again.

Spring Festival in Hong Kong
In Hong Kong, Dragon and lion dances can be seen everywhere. Victoria Harbor will witness a grand firework display on the night of the second day of the lunar New Year for welcoming the Spring Festival. It is the site of Hong Kong's magnificent annual fireworks display.
In Hong Kong and the Mainland alike, every household stocks up on special purchases and pastes up Spring Festival couplets and New Year paintings to welcome the Lunar New Year. No Spring Festival celebration would be complete without family reunions, visiting friends and family, and giving red envelopes containing cash to children.
Lunar New Year's Day is the time for Hong Kong's parade of floats. Floats from around the world participate, each exhibiting its own distinctive style in a grand celebration of China's Spring Festival.
Hong Kong is the "heaven to gastronomists", with an abundance of food coming from all over the world. Many food streets are open to serve various special foods during the festival. On New Year's Eve, the family member will get together to have the reunion dinner, after which it is customary for most of the families to visit the flower fair. The fair in the Victoria Park is the largest and jolliest.
To the children, they find great delight in "begging for lishi sweets". Lishi is an auspicious word in Cantonese, symbolizing luck and propitiousness.
