PEOPLE across the world are preparing to celebrate Chinese New Year on Monday, which welcomes the Year of the Monkey.

The New Year, also known as the Spring Festival, is set by the lunisolar Chinese calendar so the date changes every year.

It’s the longest and most important event in the Chinese calendar.

The next Year of the Monkey will be 2028.

If you’re planning a meal out or a takeaway to mark the occasion, we’ve put together a list of the best Chinese restaurants in Colchester, according to TripAdvisor.
