Description

A house built for a family reunion

The build centres on a traditional courtyard house where several generations of one family gather for New Year. Rather than a single room, the model shows multiple areas at once: a kitchen where dumplings are being prepared, a dining area for the feast, and a courtyard for the celebration itself. That layout makes the point that Lunar New Year isn't one single event but a full day of overlapping rituals. At 1,066 pieces, there's enough room to give each of these areas its own detail without the model ever feeling like one cramped, overloaded building.

Warm colours for a festive occasion

Red and Bright Light Orange carry the festive character of the set, showing up in lanterns, red envelopes and decoration, while Light Bluish Gray and Dark Bluish Gray form the courtyard house itself. That pairing of warm accent colours with neutral building tones is typical of New Year scenes, where red traditionally stands for luck and protection. Compared with the companion set Story of Nian, the palette here reads calmer and more domestic, fitting for a family scene rather than a dramatic legend. Displayed together, the two sets offer related but distinct takes on the same festival.

Twelve minifigures across several generations

With 12 minifigures, this is one of the most figure-heavy sets in the whole catalogue, spanning several generations of one family from grandparents down to children. That headcount makes it possible to split up the classic New Year roles: cooking, setting the table, handing out red envelopes, or raising a toast to the new year together. For a set of this size, that many figures is unusually generous, and it turns the model into a standalone collection of Chinese-themed minifigures in its own right, easy to combine with other family scenes.

285 elements behind the scenes

The 285 different elements cover kitchen utensils, furniture, decoration and the courtyard house's own structure, which keeps the build varied throughout. This page lists every element with its colour, handy if you're after specific tableware or lantern pieces for a scene of your own. The Light Bluish Gray, Dark Bluish Gray, Red and Bright Light Orange palette also pairs well with the companion set Story of Nian, so building both together can grow into a larger New Year village.
