Peruvian youth Anna Paula Peralta Reyes is celebrating the Chinese New Year in Lima like never before! 🎉🐍 After studying at a Chinese school in Peru for 11 years, Anna took her passion for Chinese culture further by attending Jilin University in China. During her time there, she delved deep into the traditions and built heartwarming friendships with locals.
Now, back in Lima, Anna explores the vibrant Chinatown to witness how Chinese culture beautifully blends with her city. The streets are decked out in red, the color symbolizing luck and joy, with shops offering traditional hong baos, spring couplets, and decorations celebrating this year's zodiac animal, the snake.
Walking through Chinatown filled with energy and color, Anna can't help but admire the rich Spring Festival culture. \"It's the perfect moment to feel the joy of a culture that, despite the distance, feels closer than ever!\" she exclaimed.
Anna's experience highlights the vibrant cultural fusion in Lima, bringing together traditions from her heritage and the local Peruvian spirit. 🌍✨
