At 10:30 a parade with Chinese lion and dragon dances will start from the Spuiplein (next to City Hall). The official opening ceremony will commence at 11:30 am in the Atrium of City Hall, with speeches by the Mayor of The Hague, the Chinese Ambassador, the Chairman of the National Chinese New Year Celebration Committee 2023, Ms. Sujie Chi and others.
