Today marks the beginning of Chinese New Year- a fifteen day celebration where communities come together at temples and gatherings to mark the beginning of the year of the rooster – the tenth animal on the Chinese zodiac calendar.
The most important date in the Chinese calendar, this holiday is beautifully celebrated with parades, dragon dances, the exchange of gifts, and spending time with family.
New Year’s celebrations are important for all of us, as they offer the opportunity for renewal and to find peace moving forward with the year ahead.
The GPO would like to wish all who are celebrating a happy and prosperous New Year!
