Chinatown, London, UK. 1 February 2014. Several Chinese martial arts schools performed Lion Dances in full costume in London's Chinatown to celebrate the Year of the Horse/Chinese New Year. The Lion Dancers performed the traditional custom of "cai qing", Chinese for "plucking the greens". This traditional lion dance is believed to bring good luck and fortune to the business and the troupe is rewarded with the "red envelope" containing money. Credit: Nick Savage/Alamy Live News
