A big country needs a big festival and this Chinese New Year celebration fits the bill. The festival crams nine days of fun into 24 hours. Three-deep crowds seemingly line every downtown street watching brightly decorated lion, dragon and yangge dancers. Homes are adorned with New Year couplets (red ribbons inscribed with wishes for the New Year) and families feast on traditional cakes and sweet dumplings. The evening then culminates with an onslaught of fireworks. The festival varies each year, but usually falls between the last week in January and first week in February.
