Gong Xi Fa Cai! (Happy new year!)

The Chinese New Year , or Lunar New Year, is the most important event in the Chinese calendar and is celebrated worldwide.

The Buddhist temple Fo Guang Shan He Hua is located in Amsterdam's Chinese Nieuwmarkt neighbourhood . The Chinese New Year celebration takes place at this Chinese temple every year. But also in other places in the city attention is paid to the Chinese New Year with celebrations and activities.

If you get hungry from all the spectacle, you can go to one of the Chinese restaurants on the seawall, the floating Chinese restaurant Sea Palace on Oosterdokskade or one of the Chinese eateries on Stormsteeg or Geldersekade.
