To celebrate the festive season with the public, the Leisure and Cultural Services Department (LCSD) is presenting the Chinese New Year Lantern Carnival at the Hong Kong Cultural Centre (HKCC) from today (Feb. 7) until Feb. 12. The carnival, with the theme of "Chinese Lanterns: An Enduring Heritage", features dazzling lanterns and a series of fabulous performances and activities. Members of the public are invited to join for free.
The HKCC piazza is decorated with specially themed lanterns to create a joyful ambience. In addition to a 6-meter ornate palace lantern and an exquisite "Glittering Fish・Lanterns with Abundant Blessings" display launched in mid-January, a number of animal-shaped lanterns such as pandas, colorful peacocks, meerkats and squirrels are also on display. The lanterns will be illuminated from 6 pm to 11 pm daily.
A range of entertainment and activities with traditional Chinese characteristics and youthful vigor will also be organized. There will be songs, dances and acrobatic performances featuring Bouyei, Dong and Miao ethnic groups by the Guizhou Performance and Arts Group. Other attractions include music, dance and lion dance performances by young local artists and youth organizations, an intangible cultural heritage market and photo exhibition on Guizhou, lantern riddles, inclusive performances, and more.
