New Year Fair offers non-local students a taste of Chinese culture
As an introduction to Chinese New Year culture, the fair included booths dedicated to writing Chinese couplets, Chinese lantern riddles, Chinese paper cutting and traditional food preparation and tastings. There was a Red Packet Exhibition and a “God of Wealth”, acted by a student, mingled with the crowd.
“We organise the fair to let students introduce traditional Chinese culture and customs to other students in a relaxing way,” said Ms Helen Lam, Director of INSO. “This is also a platform for internationalisation, which allows overseas exchange students, mainland students and local students to mingle and develop their friendship.”
