Chinese nationals doing businesses in Ghana have celebrated the 2017 New Year Festival to showcase Chinese culture both at the local and international levels.

This was also to afford the Chinese the opportunity to renew worthy relationship with the Ghanaian community as they move on with their businesses in the country.

The festival which took place at Anwiankwanta in the Bekwai Municipality and Obuasi in the Obuasi Municipaltiy of the Ashanti Region was characterised with drumming, dancing and floating to create awareness of “a rich Chinese culture” in Ghana.

The team also took dancing, drumming and related performances to other places beyond Ashanti Region where some Chinese nationals had been operating different businesses.

Speaking to the media in interview, a Delegate of the GuangXi Chamber of Commerce, Monica Wei, said the celebration of a new year festival was according to the Lunar Calendar in Chinese historical settings.

She said though in Ghana, as Chinese celebrated the festival, it was to symbolise “great power, dignity and auspiciousness”.

She said the festival was also to the Chinese an indication of “fertility, wisdom and authority” as they went about their businesses.
