Chinese new year is also known as the Spring Festival and is the oldest and most important festival in China. Dragon dances are common for such a festival. The face of the dragon together with the sound of the drums and cymbals are used to ward off bad luck and evil spirits. Let us join our Chinese brothers and sisters all over the world in welcoming the year of the snake. Gong Xi Fa Cai!
I miss the sights and sounds of Chinese New Year in Malaysia- so many fire crackers, lion dances and general chaos on the street. Beautiful photo!
Glad you like the photo. Chinese New Year sure is a festive time of the year. 🙂
