SUMMARY:元旦
DESCRIPTION:New Year’s Day (Yuandan\, 1 January) is the first official holiday of the year in mainland China. While it is shorter and quieter than the Spring Festival\, cities decorate their main streets\, shopping districts run winter promotions\, and families enjoy a day off together. Schools and offices close\, and some people use the day for short winter trips or to prepare for the bigger Lunar New Year season coming a few weeks later.
