STORYLINE:
Dancers and drummers paraded through the streets of Lima on Wednesday as members of Peru’s Chinese community celebrated the Lunar New Year.
The city’s Chung Shan Dragon Dance Society led the celebrations through Lima’s Chinatown.
The dancers also entered the Tung Sing temple, which the association claims to be the oldest Taoist temple in South America, founded in 1868.
An estimated three million people of Chinese descent now live in Peru, mainly descendants of migrant workers who arrived between 1849 and 1874.
Wednesday marked the start of the Year of the Snake, one of 12 animals in the Chinese zodiac.
