Glasgow's George Square surged with colour as it welcomed the Year of the Dragon last weekend.
The event, which was organised by the Chinese Cultural and Welfare Society Scotland (CCWSS), had dragon and lions dancers perform a ceremonial dance and dye dotting Ceremony to represent the giving of life and sight.
The crowd was also treated to traditional dances, the Neilston and District Pipe Band performances and a colourful costume parade, Tai Chi, and a unique face changing performance by Chinese artists.
Catherine Rossine, chair of Ng Homes, said: "It was wonderful to be part of the new year celebrations which is a time to connect with family and friends.
"The event was certainly very popular and the performances both in George Square and within the city chambers were mesmerising and showcased the amazing talent of all the performers.
"We wish all Kung Hei Fat Choi – Happy New Year."
The celebrations continued within the city chambers with an entertainment programme opened by Jacqueline McLaren, Lord Provost of Glasgow.
Other attendees included Consul General Zhang Biao and Andy Chung, chair of CCWSS chair, both sending out special New Year greetings.
