During the celebration of the Chinese New Year, hotels, restaurants, shopping malls and attractions around the world welcome representatives of the Celestial Empire with special trepidation. So, a wish tree has been installed in a Chinese restaurant in London, where everyone can leave their congratulations and best wishes to the people of China. The restaurant was decorated with traditional Chinese decorations and even prepared a special menu, including rabbit meat dishes — a symbol of the Spring festival this year.

A huge rabbit stands at the entrance to the Shangri-La Hotel in Istanbul, welcoming visitors among the red lanterns; in Indonesia, guests from China were greeted with a traditional lion dance.
