 The onset of spring is celebrated during Chinese New Year, which is also commonly known as Lunar New Year. It is observed in nations with a large Asian population, including China, South Korea, Vietnam, Malaysia, and Singapore, and is known as the Spring Festival in China. Welcoming the new year and sending good fortune and abundance into the previous one are at the heart of Chinese New Year traditions. There will be a lot of red decor, firecrackers, and fireworks. Red envelopes are used to distribute funds to the youth. Those who have passed on are remembered and celebrated with a feast. In 2025, the Lunar New Year falls under the sign of the snake, which is also related with the Chinese zodiac. The beginning and ending times of the Chinese New Year in 2025 are as follows. When exactly is Chinese New Year? Chinese New Year starts on Wednesday, Jan. 29, 2025. How long does Chinese New Year go for? Chinese New Year 2025 ends Wednesday, Feb. 12.  Usually, the Chinese New Year festivities can go on for up to sixteen days, but only the first 7 days are public holidays. This year, that's from January 29th to February 4th.
