Chinese New Year Facts
One frequently asked question is ‘when is Chinese New Year?’. Well, you know when it is in 2019, but it differs from year to year. This is because this celebration is based on the Lunar rather than Gregorian calendar. That means that the date differs annually, unlike say Christmas or Easter, which is based on the Gregorian calendar. So in 2020 for example, it was on the 25th January!
Chinese New Year also lasts for 15 days, so do not think that once February passes, you cannot keep celebrating. Chinese New Year is also known as ‘spring festival’, and is a very important time for families, with millions of people travelling around the world to spend time with their loved ones. That means that you have the perfect excuse to get your own family together and celebrate in style with some delicious meal options.
