2017 has arrived! We here at Lan-bridge hope that you all had a great break and first few days back at work. We look forward to another year of providing excellent professional translation and interpretation services, and to helping your businesses and organisations build links with China and grow this year.

China was the 12^th country in the world to celebrate the New Year’s arrival, and below we have a selection of photos of how some cities welcomed this joyous occasion.
