Peach blossom lai see tree

These trees are probably the most popular Chinese New Year decoration found all over the Chinese world during CNY! Red packets (or golden) are handed out during CNY for two weeks after the first day of CNY.

Usually handed to children,, single people and those who serve you (bus drivers, cleaners, check out cashiers). This gesture is received very well by cashiers esepecially, we've noticed, and the service you get from them once they've received lai see, is very different.
