Lunar New Year, also known as Chinese New Year or Spring Festival, is a significant cultural celebration marking the beginning of the lunar calendar year. It is observed by various East Asian countries and communities, including China, Vietnam, Korea, and others. The festival typically falls between January 21 and February 20, depending on the lunar calendar.
Lunar New Year is characterized by various traditions and customs such as family reunions, feasting, honoring ancestors, and giving red envelopes (hongbao) containing money to children and younger family members for good luck.

The celebration often lasts for several days, with events including parades, fireworks, and cultural performances. The holiday not only emphasizes the importance of family and togetherness but also symbolizes the hope for health, prosperity, and good fortune in the coming year.
