How are you? It's Chinese New Year of the Pig and I wish all the Chinese happy Lunar New Year!!! 🐽 It's the first time I've ever spent the Chinese New Year in a foreign city, so I'm excited to see how people in London celebrate the most important Chinese festival!! Thanks @aaronli for hosting the A City A Story Contest which encourages us to share stories of the city we're living in.

A way with words - Chinese Calligraphy 🀄️【中國書法】
Chinese is one of the most difficult languages in the world, especially when it comes to writing. Come here and these calligraphers will use this ancient art to "draw" your name, Chinese New Year wishes, or any special Chinese character chosen by you! 👩🎨
中文是世界上最難的語言之一，特別是在寫作方面。如果你參加這個活動，書法家們會在春聯上寫下你的名字、中國新年祝福，或者是任何漢字哦！ 👩🎨 根據我當天經驗，外國人對我們的文字真的充滿了興趣呢！

Did You Know about London's Original China Town❓【你知道倫敦的「老唐人街」在哪裏嗎】❓
Britain has enjoyed a trade relationship with China for more than 400 years, opening up the migration between the two countries. By the late 1800s a Chinese community was well established around Limehouse Causeway, close to the docks (source).
英國與中國建立了 超過400年的貿易關係，所以從400年前起，許多華人就移民到了英國。到了19世紀末，一個華人社區在靠近碼頭的Limehouse Causeway附近建立了起來。
The fledgling Chinese community near Limehouse would eventually become known as London’s original Chinatown, although the decline of the shipping industry and the bombing of the capital’s docklands during World War II eventually led the community to relocate to Soho, where it remains to this day (source).
位於Limehouse附近的華人社區被稱為倫敦最初的唐人街。不過，在第二次世界大戰期間，英國航運業衰落、首都碼頭區也受到了轟炸。所以，位於Limehouse的華人社區搬遷至了soho，時至今日。
Just My Cup of Tea 🍵 【你是我的茶】
Did you know that 165 million cups of tea are consumed in the UK every day? 🍵 Let's know more about the UK's favourite drink which came from China!! Children can design their own teacup decorated with Chinese dragons, clipper ships and tea bags :))
你知道嗎？英國每天消耗1.65億杯茶 之多！ 🍵 在這個創意繪畫活動中，小朋友們可以用龍、帆船和茶包裝飾自己的茶杯，加深他們對茶這種來自中國、英國最受歡迎的飲料的認識。
