Celebrations of the Chinese New Year have gained popularity in Moscow as well: in 2024, in honor of the 75th anniversary of the establishment of Sino-Russian diplomatic relations, the holiday is being widely celebrated in the city. The Russian capital hosts a variety of festivities, including traditional performances, dragon and lion dances, Chinese board games, street theater, lantern displays, and much, much more!
