A grand show in central London is a perfect nostalgic recipe for overseas Chinese when the most important festival on the Chinese lunar calendar arrives.

The 2016 China-Britain Chinese New Year Extravaganza, an exciting performance of cultural spectacles featuring an array of songs and dances, took to the stage at Logan Hall on Sunday.

In the two-and-a-half hour show, around 1,000 spectators were treated to colorful and exhilarating programmes including a Chinese dragon dance, Chinese monkey dance, traditional Chinese dances, folk music and drama.
