While Havana is better known for salsa rhythms and vintage cars, its vibrant Chinese community is stealing the spotlight this week with dazzling Lunar New Year celebrations! From lion dances snaking through streets to red lanterns glowing above colonial architecture, Cuba’s capital is embracing the Year of the Snake with traditions spanning generations.
Residents gathered at Havana’s iconic Chinatown gate for fireworks, lucky envelopes, and sticky rice cakes—a sweet nod to their heritage. \"It’s about keeping our roots alive, even oceans away from the Chinese mainland,\" shared one community elder, grinning beneath a paper dragon mask.
The festivities highlight Cuba’s multicultural heartbeat and the resilience of diaspora traditions. As Havana’s youth film TikTok dances alongside ancestral rituals, this fusion of old and new proves culture knows no borders.
