The Chinese Spring Festival is the oldest and most important festival in China, which takes place on the first day of the lunar calendar and usually falls somewhere between late January and February. More information on Chinese Spring Festival can be found here.
According to the Chinese media, there were more than 68 tonnes of fireworks debris collected on the eve of the Spring Festival in Beijing alone. You can easily multiply this number by hundreds for the entire China. There were 639 million Yuan (about 85.2 million U.S. dollars) spent on New Year’s shopping in Beijing, defintely a huge boost for the local economy for a short while. The UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon sent a message to every one celebrating the festiva in Chinese on Friday: “Happy New Year to the Chinese people and all the ethnic Chinese all over the world.”
