We’ve got our eye on the Tiger this Lunar New Year.
The holiday that’s celebrated by almost two billion people across the world, also known as Chinese New Year and Spring Festival, is upon us!
The reason Chinese New Year falls a few weeks after the start of the new calendar year, is because it marks the Lunar New Year, when there is a new moon.
