“Walking the Flower Street on New Year’s Eve, you must first celebrate the New Year after walking through the Flower Street.” For old Guangzhou people, walking through the Flower Street is the New Year.

Walking through Flower Street, Cantonese people are accustomed to cleaning on the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month to welcome the new year, that is, "washing away the filth on the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month" to wash away the dust and dirt of the year and pray for the new year. A beautiful festival, of course, is indispensable for food. Cantonese people will steam rice cakes and fry fried dumplings on the 29th day, which means "step by step". On New Year's Eve, the whole family would put up Spring Festival couplets and have a New Year's dinner together. At twelve o'clock in the evening, they would set off firecrackers to welcome the God of Wealth. The first day of the new year is the happiest time for children. On this day, the elders will give out lucky money, that is, lucky money.
