CHINA-NEW YEAR-TRADITION-HOLIDAY

In this picture taken on January 22, 2016, workers make red lanterns at a factory in the village of Tuntou, in Hebei province southwest of Beijing, for the up coming Lunar New Year celebrations on February 8. For the past two months, the town has been churning out the pumpkin-shaped lamps in preparation for the biggest holiday of the year in the world's most populous country. Known as the "Spring Festival" in China, the holiday, which falls on February 8 on this occasion, compares in importance to Christmas in the West, and marks a time when for far-flung family members return home for merriment and meals -- according to tradition, they must be back by midnight on the eve of the new year.
