The festival typically lasts for 15 days, with the main celebrations taking place on New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day.
The year of the rabbit is the fourth in the 12-year cycle of Chinese zodiac. The rabbit is known for being gentle, sensitive and peace-loving. People born in the year of the rabbit are said to be charming, well-mannered, and good at art. They are also said to be lucky in love and finance.
