Chinese New Year starts on the second new moon after the winter solstice. In 2027 it falls on 6 February (Year of the Goat) and in 2028 on 26 January (Year of the Monkey). It is also celebrated as Lunar New Year in Korea, Vietnam and many other places.
In mainland China the official holiday is about eight days; celebrations traditionally continue to the Lantern Festival 15 days later.
It follows the lunisolar calendar, so the Gregorian date moves between late January and mid-February.
