Today marks the beginning of the observance of the Chinese New Year. During the Lunar New Year period, which begins on the second new moon at the start of the year and ends on a full moon fifteen days later, Chinese people will gather in temples and fairs to pray for good health and fortune as they celebrate the year of the monkey, the ninth animal on the Chinese zodiac calendar.
Festivities are also observed by Vietnamese and Koreans, as well as Tibetans, whose first day of celebration falls on Tuesday. According to the Associated Press "in Beijing, many are visiting traditional fairs held in parks, as well as Buddhist and Taoist temples offering singing and dance performances and open-air markets selling handicrafts.”
