There’s just over a week left until Spring Festival! Don’t know if it’s the first time or how many times I’ve spent this unique New Year’s Eve overseas. It’s New Year’s Eve again, and you are in a foreign country, how do you find the “New Year’s taste” in your memory? “New York Chinese New Year’s New Year’s Guide” will take you to celebrate the Chinese New Year in New York! Read this post quickly and make yourself the happiest Chinese New Year cub! !
During the Spring Festival, it is natural to buy Spring Festival couplets, paste blessing characters, and decorate your home to welcome the arrival of the new year. The New Year decoration can be bought in Chinatown and Flushing Chinatown in lower Manhattan, and there are various styles. It is absolutely right to go! But remember to haggle with the boss when you go there~ Amazon, Walmart and Target also have a lot of decorations for you to choose from, although some styles are a bit hard to describe… but the price is relatively reasonable.
The second place is Party City and Home Depot. It can be said that they sell New Year decorations, but they can only be said to be barely visible. If you are a Buddhist New Year’s Eve, and Party City and Home Depot happen to be near your home, then go to It doesn’t hurt to look at it once~ But you should pay attention that the blessing character on the door should be upright, which means “five blessings come to the door”; and the blessing character in the house needs to be pasted upside down~ This means that when the blessing arrives at home, there will be good luck all year round~
The time to post “Fu” should be completed before the sunset of the New Year’s Eve (New Year’s Eve). So the children who haven’t started to post the blessing characters to buy Spring Festival couplets should hurry up~
Since 2001, every Chinese New Year, the Empire State Building has held a famous lighting ceremony. This year’s lighting ceremony will be the 22nd time that the Empire State Building is lit up in Chinese red over New York! If you want to watch the lighting ceremony, but you can’t be there, you can watch it on the Youtube page of Empire State Building~ I don’t know what this year’s lighting ceremony will look like. I am looking forward to rubbing my hands here~ There are children who want to participate. More details can be found on the Empire State Building website https://www.esbnyc.com/about/tower-lights/calendar
Of course, children who want to visit on the spot: Be sure to keep warm, take epidemic prevention measures, and travel healthily and safely~
Although we always hear in our ears: the Spring Festival Gala is really a sound that is not as good as the last. But for those of us who are overseas, the Spring Festival Gala has already become an indispensable part of the Spring Festival in our hearts and a carrier for our homesickness. So how can children who are overseas watch the live broadcast of the Spring Festival Gala with China?
You can watch the live broadcast of the Spring Festival Gala directly on Youtube and Facebook~ The link editor is here~ Remember to pick it up on New Year’s Eve~ (Accurately speaking, it should be noon on New Year’s Eve? After all, there is a 13-hour time difference in winter)

This year, the American Federation of Prosperous Chinatown has not updated its official website to update the Spring Festival Firecracker Art Show and Love Parade that will be held in previous years. There is no news yet. But as the city with the most Chinese in the eastern United States, how could New York be without a lion dance?
Speaking of the Spring Festival, more representative than the Spring Festival couplets must be eating dumplings! On the New Year’s Eve dinner table, put a neat bowl of dumplings, and the steaming, rushing hometown flavor is instantly filled with the New Year’s flavor! The most ceremonial thing about the Spring Festival is that everyone sits together to watch the Spring Festival Gala and eat dumplings! When I was a child, I often listened to the broadcast on TV: “Eating dumplings together is called Chinese New Year!”
Although we may not all be able to be with our families when we are overseas, eating dumplings with the people around us in the 30s of the year is also full of New Year’s flavors! Last year, I made dumplings with my friends during the Spring Festival, not to mention how fragrant! Everyone divides the labor and cooperates, cutting vegetables, grinding meat, mixing seasonings, you wash the vegetables, I wipe the dishes, it is full of fun, laughter and laughter.
But I have to admit that the dumpling skin is really good! have to! It’s a tech job! In order to prevent dumplings from soaking in soup for a long time, it is recommended that you go to Chinese supermarkets or various Korean supermarkets to buy ready-made dumpling skins, saving time and effort and ensuring that you can eat dumplings during the Spring Festival!
