This photo taken on January 29, 2011 shows pedestrians walking past a decoration for the upcoming Lunar New Year, or the “Year of the Rabbit” celebrations in Lanzhou, northwest China's Gansu province. The Lunar New Year holiday is the most important annual celebration in China, when the nation largely shuts down as families gather together for reunions and feasts. More than 2.5 billion passenger trips by air, rail, bus or sea will be taken around the holiday, the government says, as China's army of migrant workers, business people and students return home for the festivities.    CHINA OUT   AFP PHOTO
