In Indonesia, the Spring Festival is a grand public holiday. At this time, many families clean their houses, paste Spring Festival couplets and hang lanterns. Indonesia and China share many Spring Festival customs: families gathering for reunion dinner, performing lion and dragon dances and holding temple fairs. In Indonesia, the festival - a uniting symbol of cultural integration - offers people of all ethnic groups an experience of festive charm, with a mix of Chinese food and local specialties.
