FUN FACTS

CHINESE (LUNAR) NEW YEAR

Click on photo above for a detailed history of this holiday.

    The Chinese New Year Festival is the most significant holiday for Chinese people around the world, regardless of the origin of their ancestors. It is also known in other Asian cultures as the Lunar New Year Festival because it is based on the lunar calendar as opposed to the Gregorian calendar. The holiday is a very jubilant occasion mainly because it is the time when people take a break from work to get together with family and friends.

    The origin of the Chinese New Year Festival can be traced back thousands of years through a continually evolving series of colorful legends and traditions.    Even though Chinese New Year celebrations generally only last for several days, starting on New Year's Eve, the festival itself is actually about three weeks long.
