The trees lining the mountain road of Lanwan Mountain were all adorned with various little animal-shaped lanterns. Although it was apparent they were made of cheap plastic, the sheer number of them, cluster after cluster, made for a very pretty sight.
Lanterns embellished the trees on both sides of the street while large red Chinese knots adorned the tops of the streetlamp poles; every shop along the road had couplets on display, exuding a festive and joyous atmosphere everywhere.
The Spring Festival isn't actually much different from any other time, but the ambience of a family reunion is distinct, harboring a charm exclusive to the Spring Festival that compels countless people to travel across oceans to return home.
