A family of friendly snakes welcome you to Chinatown.

Take a seat on the body of the red and gold snakes as they light up Dixon Street Mall.

Two parent snakes frame the sides of the mall like traditional paifong gates, while a baby snake sits atop.

The installation is a celebration of the Year of the Snake for Sydney Lunar Festival 2025.

Made from locally sourced marine plywood and reusable materials, the snakes were created by Haymarket HQ and Basalt Studio.
