Overview

The City of Sydney is ushering in the Year of the Tiger with the unveiling of 12 lanterns in its annual Lunar Lanterns exhibition, which runs from Saturday, January 28 until Sunday, February 13. Each larger-than-life illuminated artwork symbolises one of the signs of the Chinese zodiac, with the free exhibition spanning from Circular Quay all the way to Haymarket.

The installations are a long-running part of the Lunar New Year celebrations in Sydney and a mix of returning designs and new interpretations on the zodiac signs make up this year's set of creatures. Most notably, eight tigers have been set up in four different locations around the CBD this year to mark the feline's place at the centre of this Lunar New Year.

To help you navigate the animals, you can take a virtual walk and examine the map through the Sydney Culture Walks app.
