NOTE 1: Image below differs from above list. Bhutan, Mongolia, North Korea, South Korea, and Vietnam celebrate lunar year holidays but are not considered Chinese New Year in Statista's below map. Chinese New Year is not an official national holiday in Thailand, so it has not been included in above list, but is in below map from Statista.
NOTE 2: Holiday names and number of days for holiday based on official government announcements from each country.
