As far as I can tell the Chinese and the Chinese nation as a whole appear to celebrate several national/regional holidays including ones like the "Festival of Decorated Cannon Rings" or the "Knife-Pole Festival". Both of those festivals are unfamiliar to us as U.S. citizens, but to the people of China they are both known and celebrated. Somewhat more familiar holidays however would be their Christmas and New Years celebrations where they are celebrated in much the same way as they are celebrated in the U.S.. Although China and Japan celebrate the New Year in the same way we do and on the same day (Dec 31st/Jan 1st), they also celebrate their own New Year in a different way and on a much different day. 
The traditional artwork of China and Japan and it's people is also different than ours. Some of their more modern or less trasditional artwork, however, is the same or at least somewhat similar to the modern artowrk of the U.S.. Mostof their traditional art is very 2D or lacking in the realism and natural structure of the contemporary artwork of the time. Many of the images depicted in the art show people with very little depth or any other means of depth related spacial relations. regardless though, their art is still some the oldest and mst beautiful art found on our little planet.
The food in China/Japan is primarily based around traditional rice and sea food based dishes. Many of more popular foods in China/Japan include sushi, tofu, egg drop soup, and these little wraps of rice, pork, and I think lettuce. I can't at this particular moment remember what they're called but they taste good. Regardless of what they're food is made of or how you pronounce it(which I also find frustrating) they're food is by far some of the best traditional, non-american food.
