It is Chinese New Year today as we enter the 'Year of the Monkey'.

The New Year, also known as the Spring Festival, is set by the lunisolar Chinese calendar so the date changes every year.

It’s the longest and most important event in the Chinese calendar.

The next Year of the Monkey will be 2028.
