February 11, 2017108 0

Islamabad: Chinese community in the Capital organized an event to celebrate New Year. Cultural dances, Chinese traditional music, and epic gymnastic performances left audience amazed.

Pakistan and China have closer strategic ties, and these ties seem to be getting strengthened after both countries have started economic cooperation in terms of China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC).

A lot of Chinese companies have come to Pakistan to work on the initiative: CPEC. Thus, in Pakistan, the Chinese community is rising and their interaction with locals has also increased.

Chinese, all over the world, celebrated New Year on 28th January. For Chinese, New Year has spiritual significance. Every New Year is related to some animal; this New Year was Fire Rooster’s.

It's good, always enjoyed watching Lion Dance street performances during stay in SE Asia. Hindus, Sikhs, Christians all celebrate their festivals in Pakistan so all good with Chinese doing theirs.
