Customers get haircuts at a salon in Beijing on March 20, which marks the second day of the second month in Chinese lunar calendar, traditionally known as the Dragon Head-Raising Day, or Longtaitou in Chinese. On this day, it is a long-standing folk custom for people to have their hair cut, symbolizing a fresh start and the hope for good luck in the year ahead. A hair salon in Beijing’s Wangfujing area opened earlier than usual to accommodate the surge of customers seeking an auspicious beginning. Photos: Li Hao/GT
