US city resumes Chinese parade

SAN FRANCISCO - The small city of Millbrae in Northern California, United States, wants to create an opportunity for its residents, especially Asian-Americans, to learn more about Chinese culture, according to its mayor, Wayne Lee.

Lee says that a parade and a market fair that were held in the city center provided a good opportunity for the community to get to know each other better and help the city's Chinese heritage continue to thrive.

Thousands of Americans from local communities braved drizzling rain to watch the parade, which celebrated Lunar New Year.
