    Chinese celebrate New Year

    People throughout China embraced the New Year of 2005 in a variety of ways.

    Hundreds of residents in Beijing gathered around the Yongding Gate, a famous relic site of the city that was restored in November, to watch the dazzling night scenery here Friday. "It looks more beautiful now than in daytime," said a senior resident Zhou Lianfeng who usually take a 15-minute walk here everyday.

    The gate and the nearby 1,000 by 285 meter square, approximately 5 kilometers south of the Tian'anmen Square, became a fascinating fairyland in the light of colorful bulbs, lamps and lanterns. All the street lamps, lights on public buildings in the city were also turned on.

    Despite the extreme cold, many Chinese spent the first day of 2005 outdoors.

    A total of 2,005 amateur runners climbed the Great Wall at Badaling, northern suburbs of Beijing, on Saturday. More than 10, 000 people went for a street long-distance running race in Shijiazhuang, capital of north China's Hebei Province.

    More than 2,000 residents and visitors attended a New Year's national flag raising ceremony in front of the Potala Palace in Lhasa, capital of southwest China's Tibet Autonomous Region.

    "The coming year will be very important to the Tibetan people and Tibet will have a bright prospect this year," said Gongbao Zhaxi, secretary of Lhasa City Committee of the Communist Party of China, who attended the ceremony.

    Meanwhile, tens of thousands of Chinese and foreign travelers flocked to the beaches in Hainan, an island province in south China. International flights have been full during the New Year holidays, and the number of tourists from Russia, South Korea and Japan is rising rapidly, said sources from the airport in Sanya, a well-known resort at the southern coast of the island.
