On the evening of January 22nd, we are stepping into the Year of the Rabbit. The Lunar New Year is a massive celebration for Chinese communities worldwide, and that includes the Hungarian capital too. On the last weekend of January (28-29th), visit the Temple Fair in Budapest's Chinatown: the Monori Center will be decked out in decorations, offering an array of culture-infused activities and delicious food.
