People all over Asia are already preparing for Chinese New Year. This year, Chinese New Year falls on 5th February 2019. It is the most important date in the Chinese calendar. Millions of people will be travelling to celebrate with their families. Chinese people who live abroad will return home for this special occasion if they can, while others use the public holidays for a short break away from home.
Picking the best travel dates will make your journey that much smoother! Hence, I would like to share the best travel dates for the CNY period 2019, taken from the Feng Shui almanac.
To get home in time for the celebrations, the best travel dates are as follows:
|

| Monday 28th January 2019 | Sheep |
| Tuesday 29th January 2019 | Monkey |
