On February 16 we welcomed in the Year of the Dog.<\/p>\n

The dog is the 11th out of 12 zodiac animals in the Chinese calendar, and those born during the Year of the Dog are, according to Asian astrology, sincere and very loyal. It is said that people born in a Year of the Dog never abandon friends, family, projects, and goals.<\/p>\n

Whether you were born in a Year of the Dog or not, this Chinese New Year is certainly worth celebrating.<\/p>\n

And why not celebrate it at a beautiful resort that is taking this New Year as an opportunity to invite guests to experience an exceptionally fabulous 2018?<\/p>\n

Here are the top spots to celebrate the Year of the Dog, and start this Chinese New Year off in the best way possible.<\/p>\n
