Is Chinese New Year the same as Lunar New Year? The correct greeting and term is Lunar New Year.
Not to be confused as Chinese New Year, the start of a new lunar year has been celebrated globally for centuries. Celebrated in many Southeast and East Asian countries including Vietnam, Singapore, Cambodia, China, Japan, and South Korea, Lunar New Year is a general term that observes the first new moon of the lunisolar calendar. It's important to note that with Thai and Khmer communities, Lunar New Year is celebrated in April due to harvesting rituals.
Happy New Year to all those who celebrate!
