00:02Chinese New Year celebrations kicked off in the Russian capital Moscow on Monday with
00:08traditional lion dances and the opening of a Chinese-themed market in the heart of the
00:13city.
00:14Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova and the Chinese Ambassador to Russia
00:20Zhang Hanhui addressed the opening ceremony.
00:23The snowy market in central Moscow was lit with red-and-gold traditional Chinese lanterns,
00:30panda and horse figures.
00:33It's a wonderful holiday to feel a new culture, a Chinese-themed Chinese-themed
00:39holiday for the third year in Russia, a Chinese New Year, and every time it's beautiful, you
00:45can't forget it.
00:51Maybe some Russian culture eat it, it's hard to say, but it's a little different and
01:02it's very interesting.
01:06We really like it because it's beautiful and beautiful, and I'd like to see a
01:10old-class girl who lives in New York and is kind of close to China.
01:15So, we keep the tradition and we're very often in China and we're very happy to see it.
01:21Happy New Year!
