Lunch now preferred for feast
Adjust font size:

Restaurants expect business to boom at lunchtime on the Chinese New Year's Eve, as many people plan their family reunion dinners at noon rather than at night.

Restaurants in Shanghai surveyed on Monday said they would be busier during lunch rather than the evening on the lunar New Year's Eve on Wednesday.

The Yanyunlou Restaurant said all its rooms have been booked for lunch. The Quanjude Roast Duck Restaurant said few people came for lunch last year, but this year most of its tables have been booked.

Customers said they might be rushed if they ate at night.

"It's also hard to find a taxi on New Year's Eve," said Chang Lili, a post-graduate student. "Elderly people in my family will not be able to stand waiting for a long time."
