It was a spectacular sight of east meets west on the
Sydney Harbour Bridge recently, as Lion Dancers scaled the summit of the Bridge
to perform. Accompanied by a drummer and cymbal players, the Lion Dance was
performed celebrate the launch of BridgeClimb’s new Mandarin Climb.
Richard Evans, Managing Director of BridgeClimb Sydney,
said, “Australia is a key holiday destination for Chinese visitors, with
542,000 travelling to Australia in 2011. BridgeClimb is committed to enhancing
every climber’s experience, and what better way to do this than by welcoming
them in their own language.”
“The Sydney Harbour Bridge is a powerful symbol of
Australia, and similarly the Lion Dance is an iconic symbol of celebration in
China. It was great to see the two come together in such a striking
performance. We’re very excited to be part of the upcoming festivities for the
Chinese New Year”.
The new climb will offer Chinese visitors aged 10 years
and over, the chance to participate in the 2 ½ hour Express Climb with a local
Mandarin speaking guide.
