In 2021, the New Year falls on February 12th, and in China everyone gets some time off to spend with their families from February 11th through 17th. The direct translation for this holiday in Chinese translates to “Spring Festival” and celebrates the arrival of spring.

China has a long history grounded in strong traditions that date back thousands of years. Perhaps more than any other country, these are still seen clearly today and make China a very interesting place to explore! The best way to see what you never knew about China is by taking a look at the traditions in the north and south of China, roughly defined by the Yangtze River.
