Hi dear Steemians๐น

How are you? It's Chinese New Year of the Pig and I wish all the Chinese happy Lunar New Year!!! ๐ฝ It's the first time I've ever spent the Chinese New Year in a foreign city, so I'm excited to see how people in London celebrate the most important Chinese festival!! Thanks @aaronli for hosting the A City A Story Contest which encourages us to share stories of the city we're living in. So today I'm gonna share with you one of the most interesting family events organised by Museum of London: Chinese New Year Celebration at Museum of London Docklands. ๐จโ๐ฉโ๐งโ๐ฆ

Chinese is one of the most difficult languages in the world, especially when it comes to writing. Come here and these calligraphers will use this ancient art to "draw" your name, Chinese New Year wishes, or any special Chinese character chosen by you! ๐ฉโ๐จ

To decorate your home for Chinese New Year, what's better than creating your own Chinese lantern? ๐ฎIt not only trains children to be more creative, but also provides an opportunity for parent-child interaction. What a great family event! :))

Listen to classic Chinese folktales which travelled across the world to Victorian England!! The storyteller pulls us into the story!! Just a short video to let you know how it looks like:

Britain has enjoyed a trade relationship with China for more than 400 years, opening up the migration between the two countries. By the late 1800s a Chinese community was well established around Limehouse Causeway, close to the docks (source).

The fledgling Chinese community near Limehouse would eventually become known as Londonโs original Chinatown, although the decline of the shipping industry and the bombing of the capitalโs docklands during World War II eventually led the community to relocate to Soho, where it remains to this day (source).
