On Feb 18, the second Chinese New Year Temple Fair was held in the area where the Chinese Community Association is based in Caracas, Venezuela. The entire block was decorated with red lanterns and over 2,000 overseas Chinese in the country gathered to celebrate the Lunar New Year.

The event featured three major activities: a morning fair and Chinese food, a cultural exhibition and a New Year show.

At the morning fair where stands of fresh fruits, vegetables, meat, and sea food were set up, vendors and customers indulged in intense exchanges, creating a vibrant new year atmosphere. Meanwhile, chefs cooked Chinese delicacies like dumplings, stuffed buns and Nanjing salted duck at the morning fair.
