When booking your China holiday, you could arrange your trip to coincide with one of the country’s traditional celebrations.

The celebrations welcome a new year represented by one of 12 animals in the Chinese zodiac.

These baked goods are filled with things like lotus seed paste, and sweet bean paste.
Following the death of Mao Zedong in 1976, state socialism was replaced by economic reform. This generated rapid growth which has allowed China’s economy to become one of the world’s largest.
