About the countdown to Chinese New Year

Celebrations span more than two weeks with family reunions and festivities.
The counter above reads from your device clock and refreshes every second, so the days, hours, minutes and seconds always reflect the time remaining right now. The next Chinese New Year falls in ISO week 5 of 2027. When the day arrives the page says so instead of showing a zero, and from the following day it moves its target to 2028, so the countdown never runs out of road.
