Tiger Time

Hundreds of millions of people across East and Southeast Asia will welcome the Year of the Tiger on Feb. 1. Known as the Spring Festival among Chinese, Seollal in Korea, and Tet in Vietnam, the Lunar New Year is celebrated with gift giving, feasting with families, and fireworks. Traditional large public gatherings at temples and fairs, however, remain discouraged in a region still dealing with the coronavirus pandemic.
