In Taiwan on Wednesday morning, people of all ages thronged temples across the island to make offerings of fruit, sweets, crackers and nuts, and mediate and pray. Lin Yu-soon, 73, said visiting Longshan Temple with his family"gives us a sense of spiritual solace as we pray". "While I'm still young and have the energy, it's the perfect time to take action and make the most of it."During the traditional 40-day period that runs before, during and after the Lunar New Year holidays in mainland China, about nine billion interprovincial passenger trips on all forms of transport are expected to be made.
Passengers were seen at Seoul's main train station carrying gifts wrapped in colourful cloth and luggage as they prepared to leave the capital. Many others opted to spend the break abroad.
