Dependent on a lunar calendar, the Chinese New Year falls on a different day each year. This year, it will fall on Feb. 16.
Each year corresponds to a different animal in the Chinese zodiac, and 2018 will be the year of the dog. Traditionally, the dog represents fidelity and loyalty in Chinese culture.
