"Chúc Mừng Năm Mới" (Vietnamese), "Kong Hei Fat Choi!" (Cantonese), "Gong Xi Fa Chai" (Mandarin) or Happy Chinese New Year
Chinese New Year Festival 2009 - the Year of Ox. As the Chinese use the Lunar calendar for their festivals the date of Chinese New Year changes from year to year, and this year fall on Monday 26th January.
Celebration along Victoria street in Richmond today. Here are some shots I took.
The street is closed. People are walking along the tram line. Variety of food - Yum!
Some people are wearing red
One of the entertainment stages. Some girls are wearing traditional Vietnamese costumes
This guy is wearing a traditional costume, ready for the parade
I'm not sure what we call this. Hope you enjoy anyway - and best wishes for the Chinese New Year 2009.
