They admire Chinese zhongyuan culture so much that even the emperor and nobilities changed their surnames to more Chinese-ish names. The inclusivity of Chinese culture is so fascinating!

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.

When you shoot the video, most Chinese people have already taken public transportation back to their hometowns because they need to celebrate the Spring Festival with their families on February 10th. That may be why you feel like there aren't many people at the airport, because you're lucky enough to miss the most crowded time. I'm glad you enjoyed it, Happy Chinese New Year🎊🎊🎆

[@Luiri61]

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.

[@sonic-lu9ps]

I think it's merely because of the Hanfu costume he put on. It's very rare for an international tourist like Ken to dress up like that in Xi'an. Folks would likely see them as actors, similar to those you find at Disneyland so no wonder they would want photos.

[@ymhktravel]

@@sonic-lu9ps China is not visited by many international tourists, compared to countries that are in Southeast Asia. Hence you hardly see people in SE Asia getting excited over foreigners that don't look like them. You'd hardly see locals there asking for photos with foreigners. Only in China that people want to take photos with foreigners, whether with or without permission. I'm a Chinese but when I go travel in Europe, even in small towns, people there don't ask for my photos because I look different.

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.

Please know that Chinese observe and celebrate our new year based on calculations of the lunar combined with solar calendar. Lunar new year is now commonly used by other countries.

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.
