The Chinese New Year has begun, and in the scenic city of Suzhou, locals and visitors are celebrating through traditional means such as enjoying decorations welcoming the Year of the Pig, savoring family dinners featuring dishes thought to bring good luck in the year ahead, and attending local festivals. Chinese New Year is part of the annual Spring Festival which runs February 4 – 10, 2019, but travelers lucky enough to visit Suzhou can find Chinese culture year round in its UNESCO World Heritage designated classical gardens and Kunqu opera houses, on its winding canals, and beyond.
