The Chinese Lunar New Year is fast approaching and you can feel
the festival atmosphere all over China's capital city, even at the
subway station.
Passengers passing by the Yonghegong station on Beijing's subway
line 5 were surprised to find that every platform door was
decorated with a pair of Spring Festival scrolls.
The Beijing Evening News reported Saturday that forty-eight door
sides are now decorated with the red festive decorations.
They were all bought by the head of Yonghegong Station and paid
for out of his own pocket.
