I would like to introduce what a Guangdong native like me will do on the final day of the Chinese lunar calendar.<\/p>\n<p>In the morning, my family and I will have a really nice breakfast at a restaurant. To a Guangdong native, there is nothing better than dim sum (<a title=\"spring festival eve dimsum\" href=\"http:\/\/dictionary.writtenchinese.com\/#sk=%E7%82%B9%E5%BF%83&amp;svt=null\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u70b9\u5fc3<\/a>, di\u01cen\u00a0xin)!

We share stories from the previous year and expectations for the coming year in a relaxing and joyful atmosphere.<\/p>\n<p>After lunch, it\u2019s time to change the old \u201ccouplets\u201d.

It\u2019s funny to see leaves near the shampoo in the bathroom, but I love this tradition and the leaves smell really good!
