Geocache Description:


An apple a day may keep the doctor away, but a very fancy apple is how you say “Merry Christmas” in China. Christmas is not an official day in China, but that doesn’t mean that residents are void of the Christmas spirit. Known as “peace apples,” these individual apples are packaged and wrapped in bright, decorative paper and are popular gifts around the holidays, especially between couples. It seems the tradition started because the Chinese word for apple sounds quite similar to the word for Christmas Eve.
