About Lunar New Year

Lunar New Year starts on the first day of the first month of the lunar calendar, between late January and mid February. In China it is the Spring Festival, in Korea Seollal and in Vietnam Tet.

Each year is linked to one of twelve zodiac animals. The festival marks the end of winter and a fresh start.

Families clean their homes, hang red lanterns and couplets, gather for a reunion dinner on New Year's Eve and give red envelopes of lucky money to children. Fireworks, lion dances and visits to elders follow over the next days.

It is celebrated across East and Southeast Asia and by communities all over the world. The festivities end with the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day.

How to wish well

Use the greeting of the person's own tradition: "Xin nian kuai le" for Chinese, "Saehae bok mani badeuseyo" for Korean, "Chuc mung nam moi" for Vietnamese.
Red and gold are lucky colours; white is linked to mourning in some places.
Avoid talking about bad luck, illness or breaking things during the first days.
Mention the zodiac animal of the new year for a personal touch.
