Lunar New Year

Chinese New Year, also known as the Spring Festival or Lunar New Year, is the most important festival in China and is celebrated for 15 days, beginning with the new moon that falls between January 21 and February 20. It marks the start of a new year on the traditional lunisolar Chinese calendar. The date changes each year because it follows the cycles of the moon.

Cost-neutral:

• Invite a pop-up selling traditional Chinese food to site
• Arrange a discount with a local Chinese restaurant

Mid-range:

• Decorate your reception area; hang red lanterns, banners, and traditional Chinese symbols like paper cuttings or couplets to create a festive atmosphere.
• Give away fortune cookies
• Provide traditional food, include Chinese dishes like dumplings, spring rolls, or dim sum.
• You could distribute red envelopes with small gifts or gift cards as a gesture of goodwill

Great idea from Enigma:

To celebrate Chinese New Year, we invited our tenants to select a traditional red envelope. Inside, they found either an Amazon voucher or a set of Feng Shui coins. The Feng Shui coins — three coins tied together with a red string — are traditionally believed to attract wealth, good fortune, and harmony for the year ahead.

Top range:

• Lion dance
• Chinese catering.
