Lion dances are more common during Chinese New Year and other special events. If you haven’t seen a unicorn, here’s one collecting an offering in a New Territories (Hong Kong) village home.

I shot this for my blog MangoVine which is about living in Hong Kong and traveling in East Asia.

In preparation for my year long trip abroad to Hong Kong, I’ve completely missed any Chinese New Year Celebrations in London. I’ve managed to get a little flavour from photos from the BBC website…
