When is Chinese New Year?
Chinese New Year, also known as the Spring Festival, is the most important festival in China and in several countries of East Asia. It has gradually become a global festival in recent years with its cultural connotations of joy, harmony, sharing and blessing. In Chinese culture, it is believed that spring is a new start, bringing people hope and renewal.
Chinese Lunar Year begins at sunset on the day of the second New Moon following the winter solstice (21st December). This means the New Year can begin anytime from January 21st through to February 21st.
