Lunar New Year
Lunar New Year, also known as the Spring Festival, has been celebrated in many Asian countries for thousands of years, particularly China, Korea, Idonesia and Vietnam. The New Year celebration encompasses various forms of activities among the diverse regions of China and is centred around removing the bad and the old, and welcoming the new and the good. It’s a time to worship ancestors, exorcise evil spirits and pray for good harvest. Lion dance, dragon dance, temple fairs, flower market shopping and so on are just a few of these rich and colourful activities. Families will redecorate they houses with red couplets, lanterns, new flowerpots and furniture, and will shop for foodstuffs for banquet specialities.
To honour the essence of this festival, we have various immersive programs available to celebrate authentic Chinese culture:
