What’s on this weekend…
It’s here, girls! We’ve made it to Friday and this weekend is extra special as we have a whopping four days off to relax and celebrate the start of a new Lunar Year (like we need reminding!). If you haven’t sorted out your plans yet, have no fear, as we have everything lined up for you. From finding the best spots to view the fireworks and dine on delicious grub, to exploring some hidden areas and new bars, The Year of The Rooster is sure to get off to a cracking start!
Chinese New Year
It feels like only yesterday that we were letting off our party poppers to ring in 2017 and now Chinese New Year is upon us and it’s time to sit back and enjoy a relaxing (or jam-packed!) long weekend. With so many events to check out, be sure to take a look at our guide for where to eat and what to do, and don’t forget to hit up our picks for red and gold threads for some fashion inspo! If you’re looking to get outdoors and enjoy the sunshine, we also have some great beginner hikes to try out on your four days off.
