Pan from Chinese lanterns to balloons 17. Restaurant patrons popping balloons at midnight STORYLINE: The New Lunar Year arrived in Havana's Chinatown with a dancing dragon, martial arts demonstrations, and hundreds of revellers pouring into the streets. Many people around the world are surprised to learn that there is a Chinatown in Cuba. It may not be a big community today - only about 500 Chinese Cubans remain - but Havana's Chinatown was at one point the largest Chinese enclave in Latin America. The first known group to arrive in Cuba came on the Spanish frigate "Oquendo" back in 1847 to work in Cuba's already bustling sugar industry. Between 1860 and 1875 around 5,000 Chinese immigrants arrived from California. Traditionally small business owners, many set up shop near one another and the area came to be known as "El Barrio Chino", Spanish for "the Chinese neighbourhood". Cuba's Chinese population swelled to over 40,000, but with the arrival of Fidel Castro's revolution in 1959 most chose to leave. Today's "Barrio Chino" is a collection of small restaurants along a one block street. Tourists and Cubans alike can sample Chinese cuisine. There are some establishments that trade strictly in dollars, while others take the local pesos. Every New Year's Eve, the block is closed off to the general public and only guests with invitations are allowed to sit and eat. At midnight, martial arts students dressed as Chinese lions dance among the tables while diners pop balloons. The Lunar Year 2004 is the Year of the Monkey.
