The Most In-Depth Guide to Chinese Festivals
Bold days are major Chinese festivals and holidays.
Just A Reminder: The festival days will change vary from year to year due to the inconsistence between Lunar and Western Calendar. For example, please don't expect that the Chinese New Year date this year will be the same for next year. Be sure, when you show up for a party, the party actually there and not a month late (hehe).
