The price of goodies are usually cheaper nearer to the New Year day. Suprisingly, this is not so for this year. Some goods are completely sold out before the Chinese New Year Eve. They have to source for other stuffs for sale in place of the existing.

The tangerines plant, peach blossom, pussy willows are the popular plants to display for Chinese New Year.

On New Year Eve, the crowds are there to enjoy the ambience and to join the count down to welcome the Ox year with fireworks. 'Gong Xi Fa Cai' is the phrase use to wish each other for properous new year. The streets remain busy even at 4.00am in the morning.
