As celebrations continue for the Chinese New Year, passenger rail traffic continues to rise. More people are going sightseeing or beginning to head back home.

This year's Taiwan Lantern Festival in Chiayi will be the longest-running in history. It'll wrap up March 11th - a week longer than the traditional festival. Meanwhile, celebrations continue around the world. In New York, people watched a firecracker show. In the Spanish city of Valencia, the Chinese community celebrated with a colorful parade. London threw flamboyant dragon dances. Ethnic Chinese in Malaysia held prayers and lion dances at temples around Kuala Lumpur.
