In the Year of the Tiger
Chinese New Year is celebrated around the globe but Hong Kong still lays claim to the world's biggest party. The region's two-week event -- to usher in the Year of the Tiger -- is a fusion of ancient customs and contemporary fun that includes a spectacular parade, performances, fireworks, flower markets, sporting events and tours.
The hoopla starts Feb. 14 when the Cathay Pacific International Chinese New Year Night Parade -- with its ornate floats, marching bands, cheerleaders, acrobats, costumed characters, and of course, the Tiger mascot -- weaves its way through Tsim Sha Tsui.
Organized by the Hong Kong Tourism Board, the parade was a 2007 "Best Value Entertainment Around the World" pick by Lonely Planet Bluelist. It continues to be a show-stopper with 40 troupes of performers this year.
About 18 groups are making their festival debut including such famous entertainers as the Notting Hill Carnival from the U.K., Morioka Sansa Odori Dance from Japan, the Arezzo Flag Wavers from Italy, and the Paris Firemen from France. Also appearing are Dance Ensemble Siverco from Russia, Tropidanza and the San Diego Chargers Girls from the U.S., and Tiger Bank from Switzerland.
