A lion dance performance draws a large crowd at Trafalgar Square in London on Jan 22, 2023. On Jan 22, tens of thousands of people, in the center of London, celebrated the first day of Lunar New Year. Based on the 12 rotating animals in the Chinese zodiac, 2023 is the Year of the Rabbit, and as the fortunetellers say those who are born in the Year of the Rabbit tend to be vigilant, witty, quick-minded and ingenious. At 10 am, people dressed in rabbit costumes led a grand parade of around 50 formations, including festive floats and dragon dance troupes, as they made their way from Charing Cross to the north of the city before turning west onto Shaftesbury Avenue and ending in front of the gate of London Chinatown.
