We had so much fun this year celebrating the Chinese New Year festival in Hong Kong! So we thought that before we leave it finally all behind and start in earnest on the new year that we would share some of our photos of Hong Kong celebrating the Chinese New Year, or 香港新春節慶, in it's own imitable style.
Most important and dramatic of all, of course, is the majestic Chinese Dragon Dance, or 舞龍, a traditional performance that is believed to bring good luck that has been around since 200 BC! We were lucky enough to catch a wonderful Dragon Dance performance in the mall the other day. You would not believe how loud the drums and clashing cymbals were! Could not hear a thing afterwards for an hour!
