lunar calender

Google, Apple, and Microsoft used to provide Chinese Lunar Calender in iCalender format, but most links were died over years. It is become hard to find a usable Chinese Lunar Calendar for use with online and offline calendar apps.

The Chinese Lunar Calender is mostly based on the motion of the Moon. It is said the motion of Moon is very hard to predict, especially on the long run. Luckily Hong Kong Observatory has published a convertion table for the period from 1901 to 2100. It is the most trustworthy Lunar Calender I can find on the web so far.
