Chinese descendants and Cubans who love Chinese culture celebrate this Saturday the New Year marking the arrival of spring based on the Lunar calendar at the historic center of the capital with several artistic proposals.

The program, sponsored by the Havana City's Historian Office and the Cuban School of Wushu founded in 1995 by Master Roberto Vargas Lee, includes performances by mythological characters and the traditional lion dance, among other expressions.

According to organizers, more than 200 Wushu practitioners of ages from five to 90 will show their therapeutic systems of exercises and martial arts.

Gastronomic facilities belonging to Habaguanex SA offer special menus related to the holiday, also known as Spring Festival, considered the most important of Chinese culture, in the Asian country and abroad.
