Christmas pictures of China

Information on China

Chinese New Year is the Chinese version of Christmas in China, but many Chinese get in the holiday spirit

at Christmas in China. Christmas is not an official holiday in China, so most offices, schools and shops

remain open. All the trappings of a Western Christmas can be found in China, Hong Kong, Macau and

Taiwan.

In Hong Kong, the figure who visits children is known as Lan Khoong or Dun Che Lao Ren.

There are church services given in Chinese as well as English. Children send Christmas

cards depicting the Holy Family in a Chinese setting. Public areas are decorated with

Nativities, poinsettias, streamers, and paper chains.
