What to bring to the UK during the Spring Festival?

Preparation before traveling

The Spring Festival is coming soon, and I plan to go to the UK with my family to have a different New Year. Before traveling, we need to make some preparations. The first step is to apply for a visa, and you need to prepare relevant materials in advance, such as passport, visa application form, air tickets, hotel reservation certificate, etc. Secondly, you need to know something about the British climate and bring clothes and medicines suitable for the British climate. You also need to prepare some British currency to avoid inconvenient exchange when you arrive locally. Finally, you must charge your mobile phones and tablets to ensure that your travels in the UK are not affected.

Food and Specialties

During the Spring Festival, no matter where you go, the habit of eating New Year’s Eve dinner is indispensable. In the UK, we can bring some Chinese food and specialties for the holidays, such as moon cakes, candies, biscuits, etc. If there are no Chinese supermarkets in the local area, you can also buy online. The main online stores are Taobao Shopping and JD International Mall. In addition to food, we can also bring some Chinese-style gifts, such as Chinese knots, Year of the Rat souvenirs, etc., to share Chinese culture with local friends.

Cultural Activities Supplies

The UK is a country with a very strong cultural atmosphere. We can participate in some cultural activities, such as concerts, dramas, ballet performances, etc. Before departure, we need to know the specific time and location of the event and purchase the corresponding tickets. If you attend a ballet performance, you need to bring professional dance shoes and equipment. If attending a concert, you will need to bring earplugs to protect your hearing.

Electronic products

While traveling in the UK, we need some electronic products to help us better understand the local conditions, such as mobile phones, tablets, cameras, power banks, etc. Mobile phones can help us check maps and transportation routes at any time. Tablets can help us learn English and understand British culture. Cameras can record beautiful scenery and important moments. A power bank can be used to replenish the battery. When using these electronic products, you need to pay attention to safety and do not connect to public wireless networks casually to avoid being attacked by hackers.

When we go to the UK to celebrate the Spring Festival, we can bring some Chinese food and gifts to share Chinese culture with local friends.
