Celebrating Chinese New Year in Boracay

With the New Year having recently commenced, the people today are now waiting for another holiday and that is the Chinese New Year.

CHINESE NEW YEAR is a celebration especially observed by the Chinese. However, with it becoming such an exciting celebration, even non-Chinese people also join in the observance of this day.

If you want to celebrate it with a more special touch, then go to Boracay and stay at any Boracay Resort Hotel or Boracay island resort there.

Boracay is the island off the coast of Panay in the Philippines which is very popular among tourists everywhere in the world, from all walks of life. As early as this time of the year, many Chinese people not only from China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan are already here.

Even if Boracay is just a small island, you don’t have to worry about your accommodation. There are hotels and resorts that abound from Boat Station 1 to Boat Station 3 . You can find a wide range of accommodation from the cheapest to the most exclusive, luxurious, and expensive ones.

There are also fast food chains like McDonald’s if you have a sensitive tummy and you wish to be more careful with the food you eat. But if you stay at any Boracay island resort and hotel, you are assured to be able to taste the best and most delectable dishes on the island.

You should try 7Stones Boracay as it has the best rooms that are well-appointed for your comfort and convenience. Its warm and friendly staff will make sure that you only get the best and most satisfying stay in the island.

Another interesting thing to have in Boracay is the low cost beers. Low cost not because they are of poor quality but because these are really among the best tasting beers in the world sold for so much less than they are sold for abroad.

And since every other holiday and special occasion is best celebrated in Boracay, it is also the best place to observe the Chinese New Year.

Bringing another honor to the country is another member of the Philippine Team, Yancy Kaibigan. Only aged 17 and still from Batangas, he won third place in the espoir men’s division. Ahead of him in the competition were Chun Ting Lee and Yok Liu who are both from Hong Kong.

The third Filipino to make it to the list of winners in the competitions is 59-year-old Rolando Francisco. Francisco won third place in the master’s class. He was bested by gold winner Micah Sambelan from Indonesia and silver winner Kazuyoshi Nagashima from Japan.
Meanwhile, Hei Man Chan, won the race for the women’s fleet.

The RS:One Competition has a new attractive and dynamic race format which is ONE SAIL, ONE BOARD. This allows everyone on the same equipment wherein men and women racers compete all together.

The wind conditions were perfect at 6 to 33 knots where 14 races were held.

The competition was a perfect activity to watch especially for those who stayed at any Boracay island resort particularly at 7Stones Boracay. This luxury Boracay Beach Resort is located in the quiet area of the Bulabog beach which allows guests to have fun yet also provides privileged exclusivity to discerning guests who are not after a mass tourism experience.

The staff are very friendly and accommodating and only aims to provide guests with a memorable and rewarding vacation experience. The hotel accommodation of 7Stone Boracay (rooms, suites, and apartments) are well-appointed giving you the most homey and luxurious stay in Boracay.
