Greetings for Lunar New Year! This is a traditional festival for Chinese people, based on the new moon calendar, which is now celebrated in Dublin too.

Chengdu entertainers
During the Lunar New Year of 2020, the DBS Journalism Society visited a weekend afternoon of music, dancing and other traditional entertainments from Chengdu, a city in Sichuan Province. Families were thoroughly enjoying the spectacle. We saw traditional dances, magic tricks, formal tea-pouring, puppetry, the Long Silk Dance, the face-changing art, making lollipops from liquid sugar, toy pandas and modern fashion photography in historic scenery.
