For thousands of years, Chinese people count 12 years as a cycle. They utilize 12 animals to represent 12 years. These animals are called “Shengxiao(生肖)”. Chinese believe people with the same Shengxiao share similar personalities. This theory is still very popular in China today, and awareness is increasing around the rest of the world. With the Chinese new year coming, we would love to recommend 12 destinations based off of your Shengxiao. Check out your destination for 2014!
