Away from the spectacular lightshows, the partying, the noise and the fireworks, some New Year revellers enjoyed a slightly quieter start to 2012. Many chose to escape the cities, and take a New Year’s excursion to some more remote places, to join local residents across China for new year’s eve.

In Fubao County, near Kunming in Yunnan Province, people celebrated New Year’s eve with a performance of multi-ethnic dancing. For hundreds of years, Yi people, Dong people and many other ethnic minorities have been living by Dianchi lake.

The traditional festive display went down well with both domestic and foreign visitors.

Xiao Yan, Director, Fubao Cultural Tourism Office, said, "People enjoy watching the shows, and I think our very own ethnic elements are the highlight. The development of local tourism needs a cultural dimension, to give it a unique perspective."

Over in Sanya in Hainan Province, there’s a wide range of interesting experiences for tourists to enjoy, such as Li dances, boat-shaped huts, jackets made of tree skin and Li embroidery. Residents insist their culture is alive and thriving.. and it’s something they want to share with visitors.

In Guangdong Province, craftsmen in Jieyang city demonstrate the local jade culture to visitors from across the globe. In the exhibition hall, the jade masters explain their thoughts and ideas behind their art.

Tourist, said, "I find it so fascinating. Every piece is so delicate, and the process in so thoughtful and full of wisdom. "

With many city dwellers longing to get away from the overcrowding during public holidays, the range of choices on offer are growing.

Travelling is becoming an ever more attractive alternative, for revellers looking to find their own unique way of welcoming the start of the New Year.
