Chinese / Lunar New Year

Chinese / Lunar New Year calendar tracks the annual multi-day Spring Festival holiday, rooted in the Chinese lunisolar calendar and observed as a national public holiday across mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan, as well as by Chinese diaspora communities worldwide. The official holiday schedule is set each year by the State Council of the People's Republic of China, which announces a break typically lasting seven consecutive days — a combination of statutory leave and moved weekend workdays — giving the world's largest annual human migration its temporal backbone. Because the festival is determined by the second new moon after the winter solstice, the precise Gregorian dates shift annually within a late-January-to-February window. The same lunar calculation anchors Tết Nguyên Đán in Vietnam and Seollal in South Korea, making this feed a single point of reference for the most important dates in the East Asian calendar. Each entry in the calendar represents one full-day event named "Spring Festival," covering every statutory holiday date in the official mainland China schedule, which typically runs for seven consecutive days from Lunar New Year's Eve. The underlying lunisolar cycle also marks the transition between the twelve Chinese zodiac signs, each governing one year in turn. Beyond China, the same dates define the public holidays for Tết in Vietnam and Seollal in Korea, so banks, stock exchanges, and manufacturing supply chains across East Asia pause on an aligned calendar. Factories in Shenzhen, seaports in Shanghai, and chip fabs in Kaohsiung all scale down operations, while hundreds of millions of passenger trips fill China's rail, air, and road networks during the chunyun travel period. Logistics coordinators, HR departments in multinational firms, treasury teams managing inter-Asia cash flow, importers dependent on Chinese manufacturing output, travel agents, journalists, and families planning holiday reunions all gain from having the exact break dates preloaded into their personal and professional schedules. This smart calendar feed is free to subscribe and integrates directly with Apple Calendar, Google Calendar, or Outlook, so the full set of Spring Festival dates appears as standard all-day events alongside other commitments. No manual tracking of government gazettes or lunar-to-Gregorian converters is needed; the feed delivers the finalised official dates automatically once the State Council confirms the annual arrangement, typically in the preceding November or December. The calendar updates regularly to reflect any late changes to the published holiday schedule, such as adjustments to compensatory weekend workdays or rare mid-year rescheduling by authorities, ensuring that the planned break days always match the official record without manual correction.
