Not Hanfu related, but every year about 2 wks before Chinese new year a huge event occurs in China:

春运/Chunyun, or Spring Migration

People are on holiday and the entire country is on the move to return home or go on trips. This is the largest annual human migration in the world, with several billion trips made during this period. One train station alone can see hundreds of thousands of trains heading out, taking with them people who are eager to see family after a year away.

I got lucky and managed to head back to my dad's a bit earlier, but with tomorrow being new year's eve the stations, airports, and highways are busier than ever.

The trains that usually have lots of space are full, with ppl even scrambling to purchase no-seat tickets just so they can go home. The highways are so jammed people will get out of their cars to exercise, walk their dogs, eat some food, while they wait.

If you plan to visit China, do not come during this period (unless experiencing CNY is on your to-do list). There ARE a lot of unique events that happen at this time of year with CNY and also the Lantern Festival happening right after, but there will be a lot of people wherever you go.

Lossarnach. The hands of Men have shaped this land with care, and Arda has answered in kind. See how the orchards bow beneath their burdens, how the gardens spill forth their colours -- as though the land itself takes delight in giving.

As families gear up for the Year of the Snake, beginning Jan. 29, no Lunar New Year celebration would be complete without Mandarin Oranges (柑), the sweet, tangy, and conveniently peelable fruit adorning decorated homes, offices and eaten by visitors as a snack.

Visits to homes during Chinese New Year are usually accompanied by the exchange of Mandarin oranges. The Chinese words for orange sound like “luck” and “wealth”, and it is considered rude to visit anyone's home during Chinese New Year empty handed.

Mandarin Oranges (Citrus reticulata) and tangerines indeed originate in China (which is still the main producer of the fruit worldwide). Several languages have words for oranges meaning “apple of China” like Swedish apelsin or Dutch sinaasappel. English uses tangerine as the port of Tangier in Morocco became a major exporter.

Portuguese seafarers were the first Europeans to sail into East Asia. They encountered high officials (counsellors of the sultans, comparable to ministers) which in Malay were called menteri, which is close to the Portuguese word for “to command”: mandar, so the word mandarin was used in reports in 1524.

The Chinese learned high officials called 官 (guān) that the Portuguese met later, wore Orange-coloured robes, so the name mandarin stuck for the civil servants, the language they spoke and the fruit.
