The Year of the Goat is finally upon us and to celebrate the start of the Chinese New Year, Apple has curated a special section in iTunes full of apps, movies, books, and music to mark the special occasion.

iTunes’ Chinese New Year section went live today and includes a number of apps that will help you get into the spirit of the festivities with apps on Chinese culture, cooking, weather, and games.

As part of the promo, Apple is making the children’s book “I Really Rescued a Goat to Save Chinese New Year” available for free to all users. On the movie front there’s plenty of kung-fu action ready for your viewing pleasure with titles like ‘Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon’, ‘Enter the Dragon’, ‘The Kid with the Golden Arm’ and dozen of other titles.

Chinese music fans can find a number of discounted hit albums from the likes of Jay Chou, Vivian Chow, Eric Chou and A-Lin, plus you can also stream Ronghao Li’s exclusive iTunes Session EP for free.
