we're trying to upload a video from Chinese New Year in Binondo also but it is taking forever to upload. We thought maybe you had the same problem because your video just came out an hour ago. Nice job on you video.

[@gregtv8064]

What's right, Kung Hei or Gong Xi ?

[@nightwing4065]

@gregtv8064 Kung Hei Fat Choi is Cantonese, while Gong Xi Fa Cai is Mandarin. I believe both have the same meaning.

Hi, men it is not called Chinese New Year. It is called Lunar New Year. It is also for many countries like Malaysia, Singapore, Vietnam, South Korea and North Korea. If you says CHINESE new year, you will upset many people seen this vedio. Be careful.

[@sarahcopey]

he's in Chinatown though

[@lewislllouis3877]

ofc it’s Chinese New Year, you celebrate one festival doesn’t mean that festival is yours! Will you call Christmas Koreansmas cuz Koreans are celebrating it? Will you call it Japansmas cuz Japanese are celebrating it? Being called Chinese New Year doesn’t mean only Chinese people celebrate it, the same logic applies to Chinese characters used in Japanese. Will you call them Japanese characters?

[@CrugErmaG]

Correct, ​@@lewislllouis3877. It's generally called Chinese New year,hence CNY .

[@sophiehughes143]

I must admit that views are low-hanging fruit in Manila, no wonder Mergim stays there, albeit apparently the place is poverty stricken. Nevertheless BKK style of Chinese New Year is far better.

[@whatwhodid7152]

The Filipino dragon kids was the best surprise

[@venjieruiz]

i am hoping to watch an actual dragon dance from the chinoys.

[@cheelew5409]

Chinese New Year is approaching. Wait, is it okay to call Chinese New Year "Chinese New Year"? Or should we call it "Lunar New Year"? Or something else? Let's help you to figure it out. Chinese New Year Are Chinese New Year and Lunar New Year the Same Thing? Simply put, Chinese New Year and Lunar New Year are not the same. Despite being related, there are a few noteworthy differences between the two. Read on to find out what they are. Ezoic The Differences between Chinese New Year and Lunar New Year 1. "Chinese New Year" is specific while "Lunar New Year" is more general. Chinese Zodiac 12-year Cycle The Chinese zodiac 12-year Cycle Ezoic When referring specifically to the new year event when Chinese traditions and culture are celebrated, you can refer to it as "Chinese New Year". "Lunar New Year" is a more general term and encompasses all celebrations that mark a new year according to a lunar calendar. In contexts outside of China, referring to Lunar New Year as "Chinese New Year" and vice versa can come off as insensitive and offensive because it ignores other cultures, all of which have their own unique traditions, beliefs, and celebrations. Ezoic 2. How each Asian country celebrates and names their New Year festival is different. Lunar New Year is celebrated in many Asian countries, including China, Vietnam, the Koreas, Singapore, and Malaysia. Though some traditions are shared, others are unique to each country's cultural identity. In China, Lunar New Year is called Chūnjié (/chwnn-jyeah/), i.e. 'Spring Festival', or "Chinese New Year". It is well-known for starting a new sign in the 12-year cycle of the Chinese animal-zodiac. Popular activities include putting up lanterns and Spring Festival couplets, eating reunion dinners full of auspicious food, setting off firecrackers and fireworks, and giving red envelopes.

[@Tom.And.Jerryyy]

is Lunar New Year, not Chinese New Year, in fact Lunar New Year is a spring festival originating from ancient Vietnam and imported to China. And China's invasion has occupied a part of ancient Vietnamese territory

[@oxoelfoxo]

what's your source for the claim that it originated in Vietnam?

[@Tom.And.Jerryyy]

before the period of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors. Confucius wrote in the Book of Rites: "I don't know what Tet is, I heard that it is the name of a big festival of the Man people, they dance like crazy, drink and have fun on those days. Book Giao Chi Chi also wrote: "The people of Giao District often gather in each guild to dance, sing, eat, drink and have fun for many days to celebrate a new planting season, not only farmers but all people." The houses of Quan Lang and Lord Dong also participate in this festival@@oxoelfoxo
