Dragons and Kung fu: how the Chinese New Year is celebrated in Lviv

This year Lviv celebrates the Chinese New Year for the seventh time. In front of the Opera House there are the main symbol of a new year, fair and performance of kung fu masters. There was a great dragon show in a city center and later there was a big laser show for the residents of Lviv and for the guests. The holiday of spring (that is the way the Chinese call their New Year) is usually combined with a tradition of giving presents to each other necessarily in red wrapping.
