Traditional holidays for a modern China

Rising incomes and national prosperity will see more Chinese than ever before heading overseas to celebrate Spring Festival, and tourist companies are anticipating a bumper holiday, as Su Zhou reports.

This year will be the first time that games analyst Liu Yang and his extended family have spent Spring Festival overseas.

"I suggested to my parents and parents-in-law that we could celebrate a different Spring Festival in another country and they said 'yes'," said Liu, a native of Baoji in Northwest China's Shaanxi province who now lives in Beijing.
