Date  January 1st in the Gregorian calendar
Way of celebration  A national holiday
Origin
Typically a western holiday, marking the first day of the new year on the Gregorian calendar. Although not was well celebrated as it is in the west, mainly due to being overshadowed by Chinese New Year, New Year's Day in the Gregorian calendar is still seen as an important time. It is marked with a paid day-off for workers, and people can be seen having parties and dancing in halls and parks. It is also the time when university students will get ready to leave for their winter vacation and return to their families.
