New lunar year begins this weekend
Chinese people across the world are getting ready to celebrate their new year, which starts tomorrow - and those in the Isle of Man are no different.
The national spring festival traditionally marks the beginning of a new lunar year and holiday in China's calendar, and sees hundreds of millions of people make the journey home to Asia.
Each year is named after a different animal, and is said to represent various attributes in those born in each year - 2020's is the Year of the R-A-T.
Celebrations will also be taking place here for those unable to travel back to China from the Island.
Chair of the Isle of Man Chinese Society, Jenny Zhou, explains:
As it's the year of the R-A-T, we asked locals on Strand Street what they made of that, given the significance of that word here:
Dangerous driver given permission to appeal conviction and sentence
One person injured in bus crash in the south of the Island
Red Arrows to return to Island for TT
Speaker wants 'adequate explanation' before granting health extra £20m
