GONG XI FA CAI! GONG HEY FAT CHOY!

The sails of the world famous Sydney Opera House have changed colour to mark the start of the Lunar New Year of the Goat. NSW Premier Mike Baird joined Sydney’s Chinese community on the Sydney Harbour foreshore to light up the iconic sails.

“The Sydney Opera House is one of the world’s most recognised buildings and we are proud to host the biggest Lunar New Year celebration outside of China,” Mr Baird said.

“It’s a spectacular sight to see the Sydney Opera House bathed in ‘China red’ as we farewell the Year of the Horse and welcome the start of the Year of the Goat.”
