Under the auspices of the SF Chinese Chamber of Commerce, Choy Suns will grace Chinatown and pass out thousands of "Lai Sees" to eagerly waiting children. All the "Lai Sees" will contain a chocolate gold coin. Additionally, some will have either money or a gift certificate that can be redeemed for a toy.
Choy Sun, the god of wealth, is a deity that every Chinese person welcomes. He blesses everyone he encounters with much prosperity and abundant wealth.
Traditionally, "Lai Sees" (red envelopes) are passed out to children and unmarried persons during Chinese New Year as a good luck symbol, with the belief that the more "Lai Sees" one passes out, the more good luck will be returned.
Come celebrate Chinese New Year's Day at the Opening Ceremony.
