Lee Tung Avenue back to glorious best

Lee Tung Avenue in Wan Chai will be welcoming the Year of the Dragon from February 1 to March 10.

That continues an avenue tradition, when hundreds of red lanterns hang along the 200-meter tree-lined pedestrian walkway.

The avenue will also display goldfish-shaped and gold-colored lanterns among the red, symbolizing abundance, prosperity and luck. And an eight-meter golden dragon installation will featured at the Central Piazza for people to help decorate.

There is also Lunar New Year Parade on February 12 performed by award-winning troupes Golden Dream of Spain and Universe of Lights of Germany.

Four sessions of lion dance experience workshops will begin on February 10 and 11.

And on February 20 the Dragon and Lion Dance Spectacular, another parade that features high pole jumping, will make a return.
