The climax of the festival happens on New Year's Eve. Family members gather together to watch CCTV's Spring Festival Gala to welcome the coming of New Year. For herdsmen, they will visit neighbors during the night.
A traditional snack set, which includes milk-made snacks, cakes and candies placed on a large plate, is a must during the festival.
