The Sydney Lunar Festival light rail snakes it way around the city centre. How many snakes can you count on its body?
Lucky 8 Snakes is a bright and fun light rail design that blesses passengers with good luck for the Lunar New Year.
To celebrate the Year of the Wood Snake in 2025, artist Chrissy Lau combined the lucky colours of red and yellow with the lucky number 8 in this eye-catching artwork.
The lucky snakes are filled with plum blossoms that symbolise perseverance, prosperity and good luck. The snakes' bodies are adorned with orchids, the lucky flower for Wood Snakes. In the centre, a snake holds a chrysanthemum, which symbolises longevity.
The snakes sit among gold coins and ingots for wealth. Lunar New Year lanterns are decorated with a lucky longevity knot against a backdrop of auspicious clouds.
The Sydney Lunar Festival light rail snake is made possible through collaboration with Transdev and Altrac.
Chrissy Lau is an award-winning multi-disciplinary artist. Her goal is to create art for all and promote multiculturalism by celebrating her Chinese heritage.
You're encouraged to interact, take a selfie and share on social media. Dig a little deeper and there's always a symbolic message behind her art.
Chrissy takes inspiration from her experience growing up as a British-born Chinese takeaway kid and her life as an Australian-Chinese artist.
