Chinese New Year Reunion 2025

The Chinese New Year is the most anticipated time for families to reunite. After a year of hard work in different places, the Spring Festival is the only occasion when everyone gathers to share a reunion meal and catch up on each other’s lives.

In recent years, dining out together has become a popular trend. Not only can families bond, but they can also reconnect with extended relatives. Hotels and restaurants now offer a variety of reunion dinner options, from buffets and steamboats to curated Chinese menus paired with the traditional prosperity toss, making the New Year celebrations even livelier.
