The Spring Festival, also known as the Chinese New Year stands undoubtedly as one of the most beautiful illustrations of the cultural mosaic of Mauritius. The colorful festivities marking the celebrations offer a vibrant tribute to the Chinese Culture as the glittering red & gold decorations symbolize the call for happiness and prosperity.
Most countrymen of Chinese origin do their best to perpetuate the ancestral traditions during the celebrations of the Spring Festival.
This is also one of the rare occasions when the Chinese community, known to be very discreet, mingle with both locals and tourists, sharing the richness of their age-old culture.
