The Taoist temple in Glebe dates back to 1898 and is one of only four pre-WWI Chinese temples still active in Australia. The temple hosted a traditional lion dance to welcome in the Year of the Dragon on the eve of Lunar New Year, also known as Chinese New Year. The day is celebrated around the world, and The Year of the Wood Dragon in 2024 is associated with growth, progress, and abundance, as wood represents vitality and creativity, while the dragon symbolizes success, intelligence, and honor.
