The Chinese New Year is the most important holiday of the year – the significance can be compared to Christmas in Western countries. In Hong Kong, the New Year is celebrated with a huge fireworks display in front of the skyline. In Macau, a special administration area of China, there’s a big parade on the stairs in front of the ruins of St. Paul’s Cathedral.
The earthTV cameras in Hong Kong and Macau show the New Year celebrations and look back at past celebrations.
On each Saturday in February, Lion Dances are perfromed in front of Macau's St. Paul's Cathedral. On Sundays, Portuguese Folk Dance performances are planned.
