As part of the project Winter in Moscow A festival is taking place on Manezhnaya Square from February 16 to March 1 Chinese New Year in MoscowThe flagship venue's festive decorations embody the most vibrant symbols and traditions of the Celestial Empire. This year, the space in the center of the capital was transformed into a veritable oriental town, dominated by red and yellow—the traditional colors of happiness and prosperity. Particular attention was paid to creating an authentic atmosphere. Majestic dragons and pandas greeted guests, and graceful fiery horses, the symbol of the year, adorn the space.
The entrance to the square is crowned by a majestic arch adorned with exquisite Chinese patterns. The space is literally awash in a sea of red lanterns, while gold coins and traditional symbols create an atmosphere of Eastern celebration.
In the photo zones, you can take pictures with vibrant figures of three-meter-tall red horses, seated two-meter-tall pandas, as well as against a backdrop of luxurious fans and surrounded by traditional Chinese decorations.
The wish ribbons hung on the stylized Moscow-Beijing express train add a special charm. This is an ancient tradition that attracts good luck and prosperity. The main New Year's tree on Manezhnaya Square is entwined with a majestic 25-meter-tall red dragon—a symbol of strength and power—and at the crossing to Revolution Square, a five-meter-tall panda embraces the central tree.
The Chinese New Year post office, with its elegant pagoda-shaped roof, invites you to write warm messages to your family and friends. You can also make a wish, as every message carries a touch of holiday magic. Guests can send postcards not only within Russia but also to China, sharing the joy of the holiday with friends thousands of miles away.
The tea areas are decorated with meticulous attention to detail: disposable cups are adorned with traditional patterns, and the atmosphere itself invites leisurely conversation. All the decorative elements create a cohesive picture of an Eastern celebration.
"The festive decorations of Manezhnaya Square and the passage to Revolution Square are not only pleasing to the eye—they create a holistic world where every element is imbued with the meaning and traditions of the ancient state. From the bright lanterns to the smallest decorative details, everything creates a unique image of distant Eastern cities during the Chinese New Year celebrations," said Pavel Gusev, a representative of the organizing committee for the "Moscow Seasons" series of city street events.
The Chinese New Year in Moscow festival runs until March 1st. A detailed schedule can be found on the website RusspassThe Moscow Government is organizing the festival with the support of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Embassy of the People's Republic of China in Russia.
