A celebration like no other during the typical calendar year, the Chinese New Year is essentially the biggest celebration of all. With the specific date being gauged based upon the lunar calendar, there is plenty to be marvelled at for those who have never had the opportunity to experience what this event brings to Xi’an.
Considered one of the oldest new year festivals in the world, this brings forth celebrations that can last close to a fortnight and leads to many businesses closing down to enjoy the festivities. The city will typically begin preparations for this event up to a month in advance and it is a delight to watch the city glow over time.
