About Chinese New Year
- Each year pairs one of 12 animals with one of 5 elements, giving a 60-year cycle.
- Mainland China gives a public holiday of a week or more (Spring Festival); it is also a public holiday in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, South Korea (Seollal) and Vietnam (Tết).
- The date is set by the new moon as seen from China (UTC+8), so Vietnam’s Tết, calculated for UTC+7, occasionally falls on a different day.
