There are a handful of differences:
Players start in a new location. In regular Lijang Tower, you always start in an Overwatch airplane/shuttle. In the CtR mode, you start in a decorated spawn room inside an actual building. Other than this, there is no difference to the actual layout of the map.
The map itself is decorated with various Chinese New year decorations, such as paper lanterns and festive streamers. These are "eye candy" and do not have any impact on the game.
As far as I can tell, health packs still spawn in the same locations as the regular map.
There is a flag point near either team's spawn. The flag must be captured and transported back to your own base to score points.
Obviously the normal control points are nonexistant in this mode.
