Buying Goods ahead of Spring Festival
It is a tradition for Chinese people, young or old, man or woman, girl or boy, to buy their favored goods ahead of Spring Festival, because it gives the best time for them to buy almost whatever they like, after a whole year's hard work or good study. Some big-scale fairs are thus held happily. Following pictures just describe the strong festival atmosphere and people's great enthusiasm for purchasing.
