Both Christmas and Chinese New Year are around the corner,\u00a0 people are now preparing for festival home decorations.\u00a0 The Christmas celebration is getting more popularity in China, especially among young people. Bring home a Christmas tree, coupled with numerous tree ornaments – Baby Jesus, Father Christmas or Santa, the star of Bethlehem, snow white, heart red, \u00a0gold and, silver and any other metallic colour.\u00a0\u00a0The main\u00a0winter icons also\u00a0include snowflakes, snowmen, icicles and more.<\/p>\n

2014 is\u00a0a horse year for Chinese. Horse toys\u00a0 are in great demand for\u00a0home decorations.\u00a0 The dominating color is red and you have red lanterns, red papercut posters, red good luck hanging, red Chinese knots, red New Year Greeting Couplets, red Chinese Kitchen God, Chinese firecrackers decor and etc.<\/p>\n

I’m impressed by the quality and quantity of the festival decoratiions sold by the vendors along the Yide Road in the city of Guangzhou. If you are going to Guangzhou tour<\/strong><\/a>, don’t miss to stroll along Yide Road (\u4e00\u5fb7\u8def).\u00a0 You will be definitely surprised at the rich collections of these traditional Chinese new year decorations.<\/p>\n
