New Year's feasting begins on New Year's eve. In northern China, families gather at kitchen tables to stuff and steam dumplings. Families in the south like to eat "nian gao", a sweet, sticky rice cake. Platters of delicious, steamy food blanket the table.

And long noodles are eaten to show hope for a long, long life.
