中国农历新年
Zhōng guó nóng lì xīn nián
农历新年对华人来说是一年中最重要的节日，每个华人地区的庆祝方式也大同小异，大部分的人会趁这段期间回家乡或与家人一同出游。

台湾大部分的人口由华人组成且深受中华文化的影响，所以台湾人主要是以庆祝中国农历新年为主。在台湾，除了除夕夜和家人一起吃团圆饭外，这期间还有许多不同的传统习俗活动与庆典，例如:领红包、办年货、平溪天灯节，许多旅客也会在农历新年来台湾旅游感受新年气氛。

由于台湾与英国春季开学时间不同，这几年来的新年无法和家人一起度过，都是在英国与朋友们一起到伦敦中国城或中餐厅一起庆祝，其实在英国的中国农历新年真的满热闹的，每年在伦敦市中心都有中国文化的音乐和舞蹈表演，让在英国读书、工作的我们感受到有家的感觉，也让来自世界各地的旅客更了解中华文化。

中国新年是农历中最长的节日，对我来说是一年中可以与家人聚在一起最久的时间，也是自己从小到大最喜欢的节日之一。

中國農曆新年
Zhōng guó nóng lì xīn nián
農曆新年對華人來說是一年中最重要的節日，每個華人地區的慶祝方式也大同小異，大部分的人會趁這段期間回家鄉或與家人一同出遊。

台灣大部分的人口由華人組成且深受中華文化的影響，所以台灣人主要是以慶祝中國農曆新年為主。在台灣，除了除夕夜和家人一起吃團圓飯外，這期間還有許多不同的傳統習俗活動與慶典，例如:領紅包、辦年貨、平溪天燈節，許多旅客也會在農曆新年來台灣旅遊感受新年氣氛。

由於台灣與英國春季開學時間不同，這幾年來的新年無法和家人一起度過，都是在英國與朋友們一起到倫敦中國城或中餐廳一起慶祝，其實在英國的中國農曆新年真的滿熱鬧的，每年在倫敦市中心都有中國文化的音樂和舞蹈表演，讓在英國讀書、工作的我們感受到有家的感覺，也讓來自世界各地的旅客更了解中華文化。

Chinese New Year
Lunar New Year is the most important festival of the year for Chinese people. The ways of celebration in each Chinese area are slightly different, and most people go home or travel with their family during that time.
Taiwan, whose population is mostly made up of Han Taiwanese, is deeply influenced by Chinese culture, so Taiwanese people mainly celebrate Chinese New Year. In Taiwan, in addition to the family reunion dinner on Lunar New Year’s Eve, there are also many different traditional customs and activities, such as receiving red envelopes, doing New Year shopping and Pingxi Lantern Festival. Many tourists visit Taiwan to experience the New Year atmosphere.
Since Taiwanese and British schools start at different times in spring, in recent years, I have celebrated Chinese New Year with friends either in Chinatown London or in Chinese restaurants instead of spending time with my family. In fact, Lunar New Year in the UK is very busy. There are many Chinese cultural music and dance performances in central London, which makes me and those who study or work in the UK feel at home and lets visitors from all over the world know more about Chinese culture.
Chinese New Year is the longest festival in the lunar calendar. For me, it is the longest time that I can spend time with my family in a year and has also been one of my favorite holidays since childhood.
