LONDON – Saturday January 28 marks the start of Chinese New Year, the perfect time to celebrate China’s unique culture.
Also known as Spring Festival, the date marks the turn of the Chinese lunisolar calendar, which falls on a different day every year.
The beginning of The Year of the Rooster – the tenth animal in the Chinese zodiac – will see parties and festivities around the world.
Outside of Asia, the biggest Chinese New Year celebrations in the world are found in London. With an opening ceremony and a Chinese New Year Parade, there are plenty of ways to ring in the New Year, but the best way is surely by enjoying the best Chinese food the city has to offer.
