Chinatown is well known for its many shops and restaurants including late night eateries, as well as its late night market.
A trip to Sydney wouldn’t be complete without a visit to Paddy’s Market. Sydney’s Paddy’s Market offers products as varied as fruits and vegetables, flowers, souvenirs, clothes, jewellery and more. The iconic market is visited daily by thousands of tourists looking for the perfect souvenir to bring back home, as well as locals doing their daily shopping. Paddy’s market is open from Wednesday to Sunday as well as most public holidays.
The celebration of the Chinese New Year attracts large crowds to the streets of Chinatown during the three weeks festival. A wide range of events are organised during the celebrations, offering something for everyone. You will be able to take part to traditional and contemporary Chinese cultural activities, dragon boats races, dances, arts and crafts, calligraphy workshop and more.
The most spectacular event of the Chinese New Year festivities is surely the Lion Dance which takes place throughout the first few days of the Chinese New Year, and brings good luck to the households or businesses which they visit.
