When the Chinese New Year bell rings, we usher in the Year of the Tiger.

Chinese New Year, also known as Chinese Lunar New Year or Spring Festival, falls on February 1 this year, starting the Year of the Tiger. In Chinese culture, tiger symbolizes bravery, vigor and strength that can lift people from adversity, break through obstacles and eventually welcome the bright sunshine.

CGTN Nature wishes everyone around the world a happy Chinese New Year! In the Year of the Tiger, be dignified and strong. Be vigorous, confident and outstanding. Be better, just like a tiger!
