Chinatown Markets Sydney

Year of the Snake!
Chinese New Year 2013 City of Sydney

Celebrate the glory of Chinatown as the precinct lights up day and night for the month of February.

The Lunar New Year is the focus from February 8-24 with the City Of Sydney featuring a festival of food, entertainment and educating all audiences on Asian culture.  For details on over 80 events across the city go to: http://www.sydneychinesenewyear.com/. Plus, be sure to fit Chinatown Markets Sydney into your schedule every Friday evening from 4pm-11pm.

The Water Snake is the animal sign for 2013 from the Chinese zodiac (shared with 1928, 1941, 1953, 1965, 1977, 1989, 2001), those born in these years are said to be exciting yet dark with grace and intuition.

The lucky gemstones for the snake are Topaz, Jasper and Bloodstone. The reptiles lucky colour is red, which coincidentally combines the crimson custom of wearing the colour to scare away evil spirits and bad fortune. Tradition also advises you to give red envelopes to friends and family for good luck and prosperity.

For the next few weeks, don’t miss an opportunity to say say a hearty Happy New Year in Cantonese (“Kung Hei Fat Choy”), Mandarin (“Gōng Xǐ Fā Cái”), Korean (“Saehaebok Manhi Badeuseyo”) or Vietnamese (“Chúc Mừng Năm Mới”).
