In London, the Science Museum of Britain celebrated the Chinese New Year by hosting exhibitions on science development in China. While enjoying Chinese delicacies and new year traditions, visitors experienced ancient Chinese inventions through augmented reality glasses, learned about Chinese fossils and watched presentations on the recent development of Chinese space technology.

Celebrations in London will last a month with a series of activities culminating in the Trafalgar Square parade on Feb 10, which organizers say to be the biggest Chinese New Year celebration outside Asia.
