Why Chinese New Year Isn’t on Jan 1st 🧧🐉 #funfactsasia #shorts

Most of the world celebrates New Year on January 1st… But in China and many parts of Asia, the real celebration comes weeks later — and lasts 15 days! Chinese New Year follows the lunar calendar, so the date shifts each year — usually falling between late January and mid-February. From firecrackers and dragon dances to red envelopes and family feasts — it’s a celebration of culture, spring, and a fresh zodiac cycle. In 2025, we welcome the Year of the Snake! 🐍 💡 Curious about more cultural gems from Asia?
