Londoners enjoyed a massive Chinese New Year party on Feb 14, as the city center filled with music, acrobatics, martial arts and Chinese traditional craft stalls. The celebration kicked off at 10am with a grand parade through the West End, featuring dancing lions and dragons, colorful floats and various Chinese cultural demonstrations. The event, attended by some 700,000 people, is the largest celebration outside Asia for Chinese New Year, which fell on Feb 8 this year.
