"Huayi" festival kicks off at Esplanade

"Huayi" festival kicks off at Esplanade

The annual Chinese Festival of Arts, "Huayi", has returned to the Esplanade to welcome the Year of the Rabbit.

The 10-day festival kicked off on Friday evening with some free performances.

And it was a rousing start as visitors were treated to a performance by the Wen Yang lion dance troupe.

Others also got a chance to participate in a sing-along session, featuring evergreen Mandarin songs.

Organisers said this year's festival aims to showcase fresh perspectives of the different Chinese art forms - from dance to theatre.

Other highlights include a concert by local songbird Kit Chan, who is returning to the festival after a six-year hiatus.

This year marks the ninth run of the festival.
