It's the Year of the DRAGON!
Chinese New Year (also known as Lunar New Year or Spring Festival) started on February 10th and will end this week on February 24th.
Chinese New Year is celebrated in China and much of Asia, including Korea, Vietnam and Singapore. The holiday symbolizes a hopeful transition from the cold winter to the season of renewal. 2024 is the year of the Dragon. Based on the Chinese zodiac, the dragon is a symbol of dignity, health, honor, success, luck and strength. Want to know what YOUR Chinese Zodiac symbol is? Click HERE to see!
