When is the Chinese New Year in 2012? The Chinese New Year is Monday, 23 January. That’s right. Chinese New Year is today.

There are five different time zones in China. They range from UTC+5 to UTC+8. That means the first parts of China celebrate New Year at about 4pm GMT on Sunday the 22nd.

Happy New Year.

In order to celebrate here are five photographs of Chinese Dragons.

In Pure Spirit

What will you be doing to celebrate Chinese New Year? Will the Year of the Dragon be a lucky year for you?
