Another New Year? Make My Day!
In China an expected 3.6 billion trips take place during the 40-day Chinese New Year. In California, America’s Pacific Rim gateway is home to nearly six millions Asian residents who will celebrate Chinese /Lunar New Year here at home or abroad. The popularity of celebrations such as the Fire Dragon Dance (in photo) continues to grow as Asian-American communities and businesses embrace their roots. While celebrations vary slightly between Chinese, Vietnamese, Cambodians and Koreans, there’s some cultural overlay and coming together to celebrate.
