Why are dumplings a must eat Chinese New Year food?

Dumplings are shaped like ancient Chinese silver or gold ingots, which symbolize wealth and prosperity. The act of eating dumplings during the New Year is believed to bring good fortune and financial success in the coming year. Moreover, the process of wrapping dumplings with family and friends is often seen as a way of wrapping up the past year and making a fresh start.

Come to the House of China food booth at the Feb 21 and Feb 22, Chinese New Year Fair in Balboa Park, to get your fill of dumplings.
