  • HIGHLIGHTS

    HAPPY NEW YEAR!

    In Chinese mythology, dragons are considered auspicious creatures believed to control rain, hurricanes, and bodies of water. Used throughout history as a symbol for the Emperor, dragons are held in the highest regard. Among modern Chinese, babies born in the year of the dragon are especially sought after.

    The Year of the Dragon began on January 23, 2012. New Year celebrations last for 15 days, ending with the Lantern Festival on February 6.
