Chinese New Year Celebration in Xi'an China
What's the Spring Festival like in China's oldest city?
Xi'an China: I arrived in the oldest city in China to celebrate Chinese New Year here, which is also known as the spring festival or Lunar New Year. I am joined by my friends @JetLagWarriors and we are super curious to witness and experience the Chinese New Year celebrations here in China. It's out first time being in China during the Chinese New Years period, so we were not sure what to expect!
Join us on New Years Eve here in Xi'an, China, a city full with history and friendly people. Do you celebrate Chinese New Year? If yes, what did you do? And which name do you prefer? Lunar New Years, Spring festival or Chinese New Year?

That is the thing with Chinese civilization even they were conquered by Manchus from the north, the manchus embraced the chinese culture, something about chinese culture is largely based on philosophy that is based on yin and yang and many are found in Confucianism. There must be a reason why these traditions, cultures have lasted 5000 years, survived even the cultural revolution.

Xi'an was part of the Qin Kingdom, which unified China and established China's first imperial dynasty in 221 BC. "秦尚黑", i.e., "The people of Qin favored the color black", considering it a noble hue of that era. This historical preference for black attire endures even today, which was probably why black clothing was recommended to you.

A foreigner shows up in Xi'an and a lot of people are very eager to take a picture with you, but in Xi'an 1500 years ago during the Tang Dynasty in China, the most revered city on the entire planet at the time, the locals were not at all surprised by foreign faces, and they even often see these foreigners walking through the city center of Xi'an in 1500 year ，just like the old painted artifacts, just like you and Steve did last night. Happy Chinese new year "Ken Gao Fei"， May your career be like your Chinese name.

It IS lunar calendar that Chinese traditionally follows. There's a saying that china built the country based on agriculture 以農立國. The moon movement has great effect on water level that affects agriculture, farmers can correlate the lunar calendar with their work, and this calendar was followed by all dynasties till the modern day china switched to use solar calendar in line with international standard. Hence the Chinese New Year was set based on lunar calendar. The name Spring Festival was used in modern china to differentiate the two new years.

Happy Chinese New Year! Ken Gao Fei! It's actually a great name, 肯（Ken）in chinese has the meaning of being willing to do something, so Ken Gao Fei stands for the good expectation on you to fly higher and achieve more. The boy who gave you this name is very smart to think of it in such a short time. As for the New year's eve, typically it's the moment when families are gathering together at home watching New Year's Gala，so there are few people outside. And in some big cities, no fireworks are permitted because of environmental protection. If you'd like to experience more lively atmosphere, like a festival parade, you can come to china on the Latern Festival on 24th Feburary.

That was so awesome Ken! Looks like you really enjoyed yourself there. Very funny how everyone wants a photo though I understand it might be tiring for you. It's very kind of you to agree with more and more photos. I am thinking I might have a lucky year as I'm a dragon in this Chinese horoscope 🎉 Thanks Ken I hope I can travel to China one day too.

The dragon dance usually it's easier to find in smaller towns and chinatowns.

What is banned is personal fireworks, you cannot carry and launched your own personal fireworks, but you can get an exemption if you work in an organization that has proven that you will launch firework safely and responsibly, very few care enough to get this exemption. Most people that want to see fireworks usually go to a third tier cities or countryside where fireworks are allowed.

That's the Tang Dao, precursor of the katana. If you go to Japan, they're the reminiscent of Tang. Go to Korea, they're the legacy of Ming Dynasty.

Ken, you were looking very handsome when when you put traditional clothes on. I was little jealous. China and Chinese people are so amazing. Thanks for the video in the special time of Chinese new year.

Every time you talk about Germany, it sounds so much like here in the U.S. I’ve seen some snarky comments about China. From what I’ve seen in Ken’s videos, the people are warm and friendly and I’m extremely impressed with the cleanliness, safety how technologically advanced it is there. Yes, if I could, I very much would love to visit China. ❤️

Love it guys. Try learning these idioms.

Watching these Chinese New Year celebrations in China is truly mesmerizing! The vibrant colours, the dragon dances, and atmosphere are beautiful.

I am Chinese, ken in your video I saw so many lovely people in my country! In the new year time if you say 新年好( xin nian hao) which means happy new year when you meet Chinese , they will definitely happy to hear that! In the first day to third day of the Chinese new years period, Chinese people usually visit relatives and friends and say 新年好 or something more difficult traditional phrases , We call that 拜年 as a new year celebration

Everyone likes you, so they want to take a group photo. You are very popular on Chinese video websites. It is worth mentioning that two thousand years ago, there were murals and cultural relics in Xi'an that proved the arrival of foreigners and trade. Wishing you a happy new year. Your Chinese name is really great, and you are making positive progress!
