Chinese New Year in Sydney

Tony Law 

As Australia's largest city, Sydney has developed a bustling economy, pleasant climate and beautiful scenery. In recent years, it has attracted a large number of Asian migrants and tourists, especially Chinese ones, to live and travel here. The government pursues a multicultural policy, so that people and cultures of all ethnic groups are respected and tolerated, and people live and work in peace and contentment to contribute to society.

There are many celebrations and cultural exchanges during Chinese New Year every year. There is a festive atmosphere, the Sydney Bridge and the Opera House is lit up, there are also various theatrical performances, lion dances, dragon dances, parades, dragon boat races, lantern displays and so on. Even shopfronts are carefully decorated to welcome Asian guests.

I have moved to Australia for many years. I have witnessed the changes and changes in Sydney over the years, and I like this vibrant city more and more.

The Sydney Chinese New Year Lantern Festival has been held in Darling Harbour several times, and each year, the scale gets bigger and bigger. In addition to large lanterns, there are also performances by Chinese professional art teams and Chinese food, so you can still feel homely connection even though you are in a foreign land. There is a strong nostalgia, when the lanterns are lit, thousands of lights are on, the venues surrounded by tall buildings, and it is very lively. The buildings behind them change colour from time to time to match the festive atmosphere of the lantern festival.

6、Lion Dance to Celebrate Chinese New Year

悉尼中国新年

作为澳大利亚最大的城市，悉尼经济发达，气候宜人，风景优美。近年来，它吸引了大量的亚洲移民和游客，特别是中国人，在这里生活和旅游。政府奉行多元文化政策，使各族人民和文化得到尊重和包容，人民安居乐业，为社会做出贡献。 每年过年都有很多庆祝活动和文化交流。这里有节日的气氛，悉尼大桥和歌剧院被点亮了，还有各种戏剧表演、舞狮、舞龙、游行、赛龙舟、灯会等等。甚至店面都经过精心装饰，以欢迎亚洲客人。 我已经搬到澳大利亚很多年了。我见证了悉尼这些年的变化，越来越喜欢这个充满活力的城市。
