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.

The Muslim and Chinese calendars differ primarily due to their foundational systems; the Muslim calendar is a lunar calendar based on the cycles of the moon, while the Chinese calendar is a lunisolar calendar that incorporates both lunar and solar elements. The Islamic calendar has 12 months totaling about 354 or 355 days, leading to a shift of about 10 to 12 days earlier each year. In contrast, the Chinese calendar aligns its months with the moon phases and includes intercalary months to synchronize with the solar year, resulting in a cycle of 12 or 13 months that can total 353-385 days. These differences reflect the cultural and religious contexts in which each calendar developed.
