In the city of Harbin, there are many different winter activities during the spring festival. And people have great fun. The spring festival holiday is very precious. Many families like to go on trips and enjoy the happy time of being together. Every Chinese New Year, a giant motorbike flotilla takes to the road as migrant workers go back home from cities and reunite with their families. This year, two Hairy Bikers joined them. They learned how to cook porridge from Auntie Porridge, and the ginger porridge that they cooked received compliments from bikers. They also went to one of the bikers’ home and experienced a family reunion dinner on New Year’s Eve. The joy of being together with families around the table makes the long and exhausting journey worthwhile.
