Ambassador Zheng, speaking in both Chinese and English, thanked the LCCA  for organising this grand event to celebrate the Chinese New Year of the Dragon, and the artists who came all the way from Beijing and Guangdong and brought with them fantastic Chinese cultural performances, and sent his best wishes to the Chinese community, Chinese international students and institutions, and friends from all walks of life in the UK for the Chinese New Year. Ambassador Zheng and guests attending the opening ceremony also dotted the eyes of lions.

The Trafalgar Square bustled with a huge crowd in festival atmosphere, sharing the feast of Chinese culture. The Nanshan Yingge Dance from Puning, Guangdong Province was majestic and awe-inspiring. The Southern Lion Dance featured thrilling moves on stilts. The Northern Lion Dance was lively and agile. And the Dragon Dance was mighty and dynamic. The "Festival of Spring” art troupe, the "Happy Spring Festival" art troupe, and local artists in the UK presented singing, dancing, instrumental music, acrobatics, and drama shows. The brilliant performances lasted for more than five hours, and were warmly received, winning thunderous applause from the crowd.
