Chinese Spring Festival – February 10, 2024
The Chinese Spring Festival, or New Year celebrations, mark the start of the Chinese New Year and typically begins on the 23rd day of the 12th Chinese lunar month. This year, it falls on February 10. The celebration usually ends on the 15th day of the first lunar month, with shops and other businesses already open by the fifth day of the first month. There are similarities between the Spring Festival celebration in China and Mauritius. The holiday is preceded by the tradition of warding off bad luck as it is in China. Then, the day is characterized by the preparation of a wealth of delicious traditional Chinese dishes.
