Gung Hei Fat Choy!


Wishing family and friends, happiness, success,
 and prosperity!

Sydney celebrates Chinese New Year with several fun events.  We celebrated with street food at the Lunar Markets and checking out the Lantern Carnival along Darling Harbour and at Dawes Point.

Chinese Lantern Carnival at Darling Harbour


Created by Chinese artist Xia Nan for the Beijing Olympic Games in 2008, these larger than life lanterns also include women and children arranged in family groups. Fashioned out of fabric and wire, they have all the delicacy of a traditional Chinese lantern, on a scale that inspires awe. With 90 2.1 metre high warriors and two horses glowing in brilliant bursts of colour.  The Lanterns of the Terracotta Warriors have previously only been shown in China and the United Kingdom.
