During the festival, Chinese people have various activities. They put up Spring Festival couplets, greeting the new year and saying goodbye to the old. It is a good time for people to visit relatives and friends and have family reunion. Children like the festival very much, because they can have delicious food, wear new clothes and get red pockets from their parents and relatives.
