    Discover the rich symbolism and cherished traditions that make the Lunar New Year unforgettable

    A red packet of fortune

    What is a Lai See?

    A lai see (利是, pronounced lai6 si6) is a red packet/ red envelope given during celebrations like Lunar New Year to bring blessings and good fortune. Traditionally filled with money, it’s a heartfelt gesture of sharing prosperity and happiness with loved ones.

    The luck of 8

    Why is 8 the luckiest number?

    In Chinese culture, the number 8 (八, pronounced baat3) is a powerful symbol of prosperity. It sounds like the word for "wealth" or "fortune" (發, pronounced faat3). A perfect number to bring good luck in the new year!

    That’s why we’re offering you £88 off - a double dose of good fortune to bring luck and success to your next adventure.

    Wisdom of the snake

    What does the Year of the Snake represent?

    The snake symbolises transformation, wisdom, and resilience. This year encourages shedding the old, embracing change, and seizing new opportunities. Let the spirit of the snake guide you towards new opportunities and meaningful journeys this year.
