Sunday 10-Feb was the first day of the Lunar New Year and we joined the celebrations at Parkview.
From midday a lion dance troupe visited each of the towers, spreading good luck. "Dragon and lion dances are common during Chinese New Year. It is believed that the loud beats of the drum and the deafening sounds of the cymbals together with the face of the dragon or lion dancing aggressively can evict bad or evil spirits. " (Wiki)
