Galloping from the Silk Road to the Stars, Weaving Mountains and Seas into One.
The Heriot-Watt University Chinese Students and Scholars Association (CSSA-HWU) proudly presents the 2026 Chinese New Year Gala, inspired by the spirit of connection, exploration and shared celebration.
Drawing on the imagery of the ancient Silk Road and the boundless starry sky, this year’s theme symbolises cultural exchange across mountains and seas, uniting traditions and communities within our global university. The gala will feature a vibrant programme including dragon dance, traditional Chinese instrumental performances, vocal performances, dance, and a Hanfu fashion showcase, alongside many other highlights.
More than a festive evening, the event creates a welcoming space for intercultural dialogue and community bonding. Students and staff from all backgrounds are warmly invited to experience the richness of Chinese culture and celebrate the Chinese New Year together.
