Chinese tradition dictates that certain duties must be performed to prepare for the Lunar New Year that this year ushers in the “Year of the Snake.”
 |
Both feared and worshipped, the serpent’s ability to shed its skin can symbolize renewal and rebirth. Those born in the “year of the snake” can be wise and compassionate, but also have strong inclinations to vanity.
Good with money, those born under this Chinese zodiac are thought to hate to fail.
Among the duties that observant families must prepare as the Chinese New Year approaches:
- Visit a Chinese fortuneteller. Gain insights on how best to prepare for the year ahead.
- Get a hair cut before the Lunar New Year. Chinese tradition thinks it dangerous to cut anything during the Lunar New Year holidays.
- Clean the House. This is done to welcome the spirits who frequent New Year’s festivities and to “turn over a new leaf” as you embark on a momentous year ahead.
- Attend Chinese New Year Festivities. This must be done wearing new clothes, bearing gifts to share with friends and preparing red “ang pao” envelopes containing money for unmarried boys and men.
Those wishing to welcome the New Year by luxuriating at the stunning tree top resort need pay only US$157 plus tax and service per couple for a refreshing overnight stay including breakfast for two.
