The Year of the Snake is celebrated by hundreds of millions across Asia with vibrant traditions and festivities.
Hundreds of millions of people across Asia celebrate the Lunar New Year with their families on Wednesday, as they bid farewell to the Year of the Dragon and usher in the Year of the Snake.
And high streets, shopping malls, offices and homes are bedecked in festive red banners -- believed to ward off evil -- throughout many parts of East and Southeast Asia, including South Korea, Singapore, Vietnam and Thailand. “There’s no need to ask for anything specific, just wish for a smooth, peaceful, safe, and healthy year, and pray that everything goes well,“ she told AFP.
“I didn’t want to look back with regret when I’m old, so I decided to go for it,“ Kao Meng-shun said, after winning the event at Fusing Temple in Yunlin County, in the central-west of Taiwan. In South Korea, heavy snowfall caused disruption to train, plane and bus schedules nationwide, as people went to visit their families in the countryside this week.
Traffic authorities warned it could take more than seven hours on Tuesday to drive from Seoul to the country's port city of Busan, a journey that typically takes around four hours.
