In China, 2011 was greeted with parties and celebrations, as millions regaled in the festive mood. Whether young or old, local or tourist, all held jubilant celebrations to get a jump start in the year of the rabbit.
This is the acrobatics art school in Puyang, in central China's Henan Province. The acrobats are putting on a skillful and splendid performance to celebrate the arrival of the new year.
Among this talented group, the youngest is only 10 years old. Despite the young age, these children are showing a skill level beyond your imagination.
"We wish everyone a happy life in the new year!"
Meanwhile in southern China's Guangdong Province, a marathon was held in Zhaoqing. The event attracted both local residents and tourists, who were looking to start off the year on a healthy note.
The marathon has become a tradition for the city to welcome the new year, with more than ten thousand people getting an early start to their new year's resolutions.
Tourist, Zhaoqing, said, "I know it is an annual event to celebrate the new year at Zhaoqing. I came here to join the activity from another city. It is a good way to both celebrate the new year and enhance fitness. Although I am not that young, I am determined to come."
Just a little to the south in Hong Kong, more than 400 thousand local residents and tourists gathered at Victoria Harbor to welcome the new year.
A spectacular fireworks display was held at the harbor, where people made their wishes for the new year.
Local Resident, Hong Kong, said, "I wish for a good health and a happy new year."
South Kroean Tourist, Hong Kong, said, "I want to have a baby in the new year with my husband. It's the year of the rabbit."
"Happy New Year!"
