Lunar New Year
The Lunar New Year, also known as the Spring Festival or Chinese New Year, is one of the most important holidays celebrated in many East Asian and Southeast Asian countries. Rooted in centuries-old traditions, it marks the beginning of a new year on the lunisolar calendar and is a time for families and communities to come together, honor ancestors, and wish for good fortune in the year ahead. Festivities often include vibrant parades featuring lion and dragon dances, the giving of red envelopes filled with lucky money, and delicious feasts with symbolic dishes.
