Chinese New Year

Chinese New Year or Lunar New Year is the most important of the Chinese Holidays.
  • Based on the Lunar Calendar
  • Occurs at the end of January or start of February 
  • Occurs on the first day with a new moon and ends with the Lantern Festival
  • Total of 15 days of holiday

In China and Taiwan most businesses will shut down around the Lunar New Year. 
The Chinese Calendar also uses a different starting count, just add 104 to the Gregorian Calendar to get the correct year
(so 2008 + 104 = 2112 Chinese Year).

Chinese customs for New Years include visiting family and cleaning the house.
