Chinatown Austin's Official Site
Sunday afternoon, friends and I checked out the festivities of the 3rd annual Austin Chinese New Year. It was the 2nd day of a celebratory weekend that involved various local acts, international entertainers and fireworks. A variety of groups and schools representing
different asian cultures and performances. Both mornings were started off with an energetic rendition of the Chinese Lion and Dragon dance.
The previous description and all these wonderful images are brought to you by Frank Hui. Because of his devotion, I have nothing to add. --Robyn Sotherby
