Hello from Vancouver WW. I absolutely knew this video was coming from you today...and here it is! We will watch this on the tv shortly. Vancouver's Chinese New Year's parade downtown is about to start at 10am local time. It will be extremely busy there and we will be avoiding the area and crowds. Thousands of people will be there. We will watch that on YT too just to compare. Anyhow, hope all is well with you and Thank You for this. We have been keeping up with your videos and it makes us feel connected with the UK and London. Especially Kensington High Street from a previous recent video of yours! We are enjoying our time here but also looking forward to our return home and resuming all our UK events. Take care and speak soon.

[@watchedwalker]

@ibs5080 Hello Ibrahim, I hope you're doing well now and enjoying your time over there. All the best!

[@watchedwalker]

@darinmullins4770 I did much of that in the past using closed-captions but it took a long time to do and too few viewers used it to make it worthwhile. I do still provide a link to a google map showing the location/route for those interested to follow along.

Happy Chinese lunar new year x thanks for this video. I've been a fan of your videos for a while now but haven't watched your videos in a while lately. My fav of yours the London heatwave walks because the hot weather x summer spring and a bit of early mid autumn I'd it's warm are my fav time of year. But good video x visuals of the events in central London as the Chinese lunar new year festivities are underway, the lions, dragon display and the other cute animal costumes very cute xx. And the people of these events wishing you n everyone a good year ahead. Let's hope so . I hope you have a good year ahead with your videos, friends, family, and your followers and viewers as well. Everyone loves your videos so do I xxx thanks.

[@kingrod3108]

It is not the year of dragon in Chinese. Dragon is the animal in western tales which is totally different from that described in Chinese myth. Accurately it should be called the year of Long.

[@anne-liseeikahansen]

A nice and colourful walk.

[@VenMasterHsuanHua]

What do dragons look like? Ordinary people don’t know. Only sages who have opened the five eyes know what dragons really look like. The dragons depicted by Chinese artists have horns, scales, prominent eyes, a large mouth, whiskers, four feet, a long body and a short tail. The artists paint only the dragon’s head and not its tail. The saying, “You can see only a divine dragon’s head, not its tail” refers to the sense of mystery here. Why did the Chinese paint dragons that way? Because there was a Dhyana Master who saw a dragon in his samadhi that looked like that. Dragons have spiritual penetrations. Their transformations are inconceivable. They can become big or small; visible or invisible. The Sixth Patriarch used his bowl to subdue a giant dragon that had been a menace to Nanhua Monastery. Dragons are giant worms. In their past cultivation, since they diligently cultivated the Great Vehicle, they are endowed with supernatural powers. However, since they were lax in holding the precepts, they have fallen into the animal realm. There are different varieties of dragons, such as gold, white, blue, and black dragons. Some dragons are born from embryos, some from eggs, some from moisture, and others by transformation. There are also two-horned young dragons, eagle dragons, single-horned dragons, black dragons, celestial dragons, earthly dragons, imperial dragons, human dragons, fish-transformed dragons, horse-transformed dragons, elephant-transformed dragons, and toad-transformed dragons. Ven. Master Hsuan Hua
