Title
Visit Relatives and Friends
探訪親朋戚友
Description
A special way for people to express good wishes to each other and an important Chinese New Year tradition is visiting. People drop in at relatives and friends' houses, bringing gifts or red envelopes, and greeting one another with 'Happy New Year'.
In some rural places, where families have many relatives, this activity lasts for several days. It is impolite to visit someone without a gift. Therefore, special local products, fruits, and wines should be taken-during visiting.
