A carnival was held in the small German town of Dietfurt to celebrate the Chinese New Year.
The event, established in 1928, has become the most important festival of this area since then.

The residents in the town identify themselves as “Bavarian Chinese”. A stele in the town says that the distance between itself and Tiananmen is 7,698 kilometers.
The “Bavarian Chinese” even want to make Chinese as their official language.
