00:53 Binondo, Manila is alive again
00:56 this year's Chinese New Year.
00:58 Wherever you look, there are attractions,

01:13 And you can also light incense.
01:15 But the most interesting thing is
01:21 what everyone is waiting for
01:23 and what makes everyone stop walking
01:25 is the lion dance
01:27 and the new year's star,
01:29 the dragon dance.
01:31 Because the Year of the Wood Dragon is in 2024.
01:34 This is the symbol that we will show

03:24 the walk and shopping
