Welcome to Chinatown is a colourful rendition of the annual Chinese New Year parade. The traditional dragon is held aloft by a number of monks. The celebrating crowds who attend every year, families on bicycles as well as images of the dragon boat races combine to celebrate Chinatown and the very popular annual event.
