Chinese people throughout the world are starting preparations to celebrate Chinese New Year, which this year falls on 18 February.
This is going to be the year of the Golden Pig, which is believed by Chinese fortune tellers to be rare, auspicious and therefore particularly lucky. Hospitals are already preparing for an anticipated baby boom.
Tens of millions of migrant workers throughout China are expected to make
the journey to their rural homes to spend China's most important festival with their families.
