Temple gate with hanging lanterns - Chinese new year printable pictures

About this coloring page

Curved tiled roofs, carved beams and two hanging lanterns frame this traditional Chinese temple gate, with blossoming trees on both sides. Temples are busy at New Year, when families visit to pray for a good year and watch lion dances in the courtyard. The plaque above the arch is left blank, so kids can draw a symbol or write a greeting of their own. Among the Chinese New Year printable pictures in this set, it suits older children who like architecture: red pillars, green or blue roof tiles and gold details look most authentic.
