Happy Easter!
复活节快乐！
fù huó jié kuài lè

In China, this is not a widely celebrated festival. Only Christians, Catholics, and Orthodox believers celebrate. People in Hong Kong celebrate Easter more avidly. This is partly because of their English traditions, and partly because there are a lot of Christians, established churches, and foreign Christian expats living there. If you are a tourist visiting at that time, you might be surprised about the extent of the celebrations. Quite often, this is celebrated amongst family and friends only. Non-Christians might take the opportunity to make special foods like Easter eggs to sell, and some malls in China, following the Western custom, might have special Easter sales in order to try to spur profits.
