Chinese people say goodbye to lunar year of the horse and receive the goat year

Chinese people say goodbye this February 18 to the lunar year of the horse and welcome the goat one in a celebration that, despite its familiar character, also fills the streets of people, as well as parades, fairs and stage shows.

The Spring Festival -as the lunar New Year is known in China- is primarily a family party, which brings an exodus of hundreds million people thatrepresents the greater population displacement in the world.

In the main cities, the Chinese New Year, also alters the scenes of everyday life: traffic is flowing, low pollution, there are free seats on the subway and human agglomerations move from office centers to locations like the Pekingese Temple Earth which hosts these days the popular fairs of the Spring Festival.
