Fun family adventures during Chinese New Year

Chinese New Year is a time for family reunions and gatherings, and visiting relatives and friends is very much a part of the festivities. But some are doing their family celebrations a little differently.

Dr Lim Jean-Li and her family keep faithfully to the tradition of having reunion dinner with their extended family every Chinese New Year Eve. But on the first day of the Lunar New Year, they sometimes fly off for a family holiday instead of doing the rounds to their relatives’ homes.
