Here is how people spend their money during Chinese New Year

Chinese New Year sees the world’s largest annual human migration take place. Some 3.6bn journeys will be made across the country as people set off on the trip called “chunyun”, or spring movement.

Here, data from 163.com collected by Volker Lorenz of Statista shows how people spend their money during the celebration.
