Chinese New Year Festival

This is the most important Chinese festival, also known as the Spring Festival and the Lunar New Year. The celebration is held on the first day of the first lunar month, which occurs either at the end of January or the beginning of February according to the Western calendar, and is celebrated throughout the country.

Chinese New Year has been observed for over four thousand years and is one of the most important cultural holidays. It is an old ceremony that takes place to celebrate the end of winter and the beginning of spring, thus the name "Spring festival." It represents the rebirth of the Earth and the beginning of the growth cycle.

The New Year festivities extend two weeks and include fireworks, lion dances, parades, and feasts. On this momentous occasion, millions of people return home to spend time with their relatives. This is one festival to look forward to, with weeks of magnificent firework displays and a special dragon dance procession!
