Accurately calculate the days remaining until the 24th day of the 12th lunar month to plan your festival activities in advance.
Overview
Understand what the tool solves, how it works, and the boundaries of its data.
This countdown uses the Southern Little New Year convention of the 24th day of the twelfth month in the Chinese lunisolar calendar. The tool converts that selected lunar date to a Gregorian date, so the month and day stay fixed in the lunar calendar while the corresponding Gregorian date changes from year to year. This is a date lookup for a specific Chinese observance; it does not select a holiday date based on your location in the United States.
The lunar year you select and the Gregorian year printed for the result can differ. The twelfth lunar month may end in January or February of the following Gregorian year. For example, Hong Kong Observatory's 2027 conversion table identifies January 31, 2027 as lunar month 12, day 24. Check the complete Gregorian date and weekday shown on the page before adding the observance to a calendar.
Guide
Follow the workflow and verify inputs and outputs with practical examples.
Use the year control to choose which lunar year's twelfth month you want to check. This is the year of the lunar date, not necessarily the Gregorian year displayed beside the result.
Read the converted Gregorian date and weekday, along with the lunar date details. A result in the next Gregorian year is a normal calendar rollover.
Before the target date, the display shows days, hours, minutes, and seconds remaining. On or after the target, the countdown is replaced by a passed-date state. Select another year if you want to inspect a different occurrence.
Use cases
See how the tool fits into real work and everyday tasks.
If relatives are coordinating a call or gathering from the United States and China, first compare the displayed calendar date with everyone's local schedule. The selected lunar observance gives a shared reference; the countdown clock follows the device's current time.
When preparing a seasonal calendar, switch to the intended lunar year, record the converted Gregorian date, then verify local event timing separately. This helps avoid assigning the lunar date to the wrong Gregorian year.
Q&A
Find concise answers to common questions and confusing cases.
No. This page fixes the date at lunar month 12, day 24; its Gregorian equivalent changes each year.
The final lunar month can extend into the next Gregorian year. Confirm the complete converted date rather than assuming both calendars share a year number.
No. When the selected date has passed, the page shows a passed-date state. Use the year control to view another lunar year.
Notes
Review scope, result limitations, and important precautions before use.
“Southern Little New Year” here means lunar month 12, day 24. Customs and date conventions can vary by family or region, and this page does not infer which observance you follow. The timer uses the device's current date and time; an incorrect clock or time-zone setting can make the remaining time differ from your expectation. For a scheduled event, rely on the converted Gregorian date and confirm the local start time separately.
