Year Of The Rabbit | January 24, 2023
The year of the rabbit has begun. This Tuesday, we're explaining the annual Chinese Lunar New Year festival that brings about the largest migration of people. We'll look at how long the event lasts, how it's celebrated, and what color is associated with luck and prosperity.
