How long does Chinese New Year go for?

Why does Chinese New Year last 15 days?
Chinese New Year celebrations typically last up to 16 days, but only the first seven days are considered public holidays – from Jan. 29 to Feb. 4 this year.
Chinese New Year — also commonly called Lunar New Year — marks the start of the new year based on lunar calendars or monthly cycles of the moon's phases.
The lunar new year starts with the first new moon of the lunar calendar and ends on the first full moon, about 15 days later. The lunar calendar is based on moon cycles, so the dates of the Lunar New Year celebration change slightly each year.
We continue to accept, process and ship new orders even on weekends. However, from Jan. 29 to Feb. 4, payments via Money Transfer Systems (Western Union) and Bank Transfers can be processed with delays, as the Chinese New Year is an official holiday and most offices and banks are closed. Cryptocurrency payments are accepted without delays, such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin and many other.
