The Chinese calendar is lunisolar calendar when compared to the Islamic calendar which is a purely lunar calendar. A lunisolar calendar means that the months are determined by 29-30 day lunar cycles, but the years are designed to remain relatively consistent with the 365-366 day solar years. This is in contrast to purely solar calendars (like the popular Gregorian calendar), whose months have no correlation with the lunar cycles, or purely lunar calendars (like the Islamic calendar), whose years are 354 days, allowing the months to move around the solar year.
As a result, the Chinese New Year will always fall between late January and early March, but the Islamic holiday of Eid ul-Fitr circles the year every 33 years. (i.e. It moves earlier and earlier by 11 or 12 days each year, which results in it returning to roughly the same position every 33 solar years.)
Of course, in addition to the distinction between lunisolar vs. lunar, there are also different start dates and different holidays.
