According to the calculations of the Chinese calendar, 2023 Chinese New Year is a water rabbit. Each year, the Chinese calendar is represented by one of the 12 zodiac animals, namely the rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, goat, monkey, rooster, dog and pig.
However, there is something different about Chinese New Year celebrations in Vietnam. Because, instead of the year of the Water Rabbit, Vietnamese people celebrate Chinese New Year 2574 Kongzili with the year of the cat. Throughout Vietnam, streets in every corner of the city are decorated with cat statues.
