It's that time of the year again when the streets of Sydney is once more filled with colourful and bright lanterns,
red decorations, sounds of beating drums and lion dancers.
This year, 12 giant lanterns representing the Chinese zodiac signs will illuminate Sydney's most iconic locations. Most of them will be on display from 10-14 February 2016.
Now let's start our quest and find your zodiac lantern!

The name Three Lanes Seven Alley, literally Sanfang-Qixiang was derived from an ancient Chinese district in Fuzhou, Fujian province. Covering an area of 40 hectares, this street district with a cluster of ancient residential buildings is the largest well-preserved historical heritage site in China.
The houses were built by wealthy people during the Ming and Qing dynasties
and has also been home to many famous people.
