Also known as the Lunar New Year or Spring Festival, the Chinese New Year is among the most significant traditional festivals celebrated in China and across many East Asian countries. Each year, the date varies, but it mostly falls between January 21 and February 20. In 2025, the Chinese New Year will begin on January 29, marking the start of the Year of the Snake in the Chinese zodiac.
The celebration lasts for 15 days and is marked with family reunions, elaborate feasts, and cultural customs like giving red envelopes (hongbao) filled with money for good luck. People clean their homes, as a symbolic way to dust off the evil and make space for positivity and good vibes. The entire country is decorated with red lanterns, couplets, and symbols of prosperity. Traditional foods like dumplings, spring rolls, and rice cakes are prepared to signify wealth and unity.
