Chinese New Year, also called Lunar New Year, is an annual celebration ushering in springtime and a time to honor family and ancestors. The beginning of the holiday season coincides with the date of the new moon.

The Chinese New Year and Spring Festival is observed until the 15th day of the new year.

During these two weeks of celebrations, families and friends honor each other with gifts and good luck wishes.
