When exactly is Chinese New Year?
Chinese New Year — the Spring Festival — has no fixed date. It falls on the second new moon after the winter solstice, which puts it somewhere between January 21 and February 20.
It is the largest annual human migration on earth, as hundreds of millions of people travel home for the reunion dinner on New Year’s Eve. Celebrations run for about fifteen days, ending with the Lantern Festival, and the same date is marked as Lunar New Year across Vietnam, Korea and much of Southeast Asia.

Frequently asked questions
When is Chinese New Year?
Chinese New Year falls between January 21 and February 20, on the second new moon after the winter solstice.
Why does the date of Chinese New Year change every year?
Because the Chinese calendar is lunisolar: months follow the moon, and the year is periodically corrected against the sun with a leap month. New Year lands on the second new moon after the winter solstice, so in the Gregorian calendar it drifts between late January and late February.
