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.
