Happy New Year!!!
February 8 marks the beginning of the Chinese Lunar New Year. The Chinese Zodiac animal for 2016 is the monkey, which is the ninth animal in the 12-year Chinese zodiac cycle. People born under the sign of the monkey are said to be witty and intelligent with a charming personality.
While traditional Lunar New Year celebrations are quite extravagant, lasting for up to three weeks, spend a day or two or three celebrating the Lunar New Year at selected CPL locations:
