Spring Festival is a traditional Chinese festival. But what about Korea, which I like? How do Koreans spend the Spring Festival?

It turns out that as early as the Silla era, Koreans began to celebrate the Spring Festival. In Korea, the Spring Festival is the second largest traditional festival after the Mid-Autumn Festival. Just like in China, it is also called "Sui Shou" or "Yuan Yue".

It seems that most of Korea's customs are similar to those in China, and the Spring Festival is no exception. There is also a custom of going home to visit relatives during the Spring Festival. Koreans call going home for the New Year "returning to one's hometown". Before and after the Spring Festival, more than half of Koreans wear beautiful Hanbok and drive back to their hometowns, forming a typical Korean festival landscape.
