For hundreds of years, the Chinese people have observed the lunar new year. This year, it falls on Tuesday February 1st and brings in the Year of the Tiger. Chinese New Year does not last only one day – the holiday will continue until February 15th when it concludes with the Lantern Festival.

Because the Chinese New Year is based on the Chinese calendar (Chinese Lunar Calendar), not the Western solar calendar, the date can vary slightly each year. But the date of Chinese New Year tends to be late January or early February.
