A Celebration Shared Across Cultures
The Lunar New Year is one of the most widely celebrated cultural festivals in the world, observed across China, Korea, Vietnam, Malaysia, Singapore, and many other Asian countries.
In 2024, the Spring Festival was officially recognised by UNESCO as part of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.
