The Malabo Cultural Center of Equatorial Guinea was full of festivity as a group of artists from Jinan Art Troupe in East China's Shandong province put on a spectacular Chinese New Year gala on Jan 24 to celebrate the Chinese Lunar New Year.

Organized by the Ministry of Culture, the show marked the fourth time a "Happy Chinese New Year" event had come to Equatorial Guinea. More than 300 attendees took part in the event, including government officials, commercial representatives, local residents, overseas Chinese and media members.

Traditional Chinese dance and music, magic shows, acrobatics and hand-made crafts supplied by the Jinan Art Troupe were well received by the audience in admiration of the expert skills on display. Dancers from Equatorial Guinea also performed a local traditional dance for the audience.
