San Diego cheerleaders charge up Hong Kong's Chinese New Year

Super Bowl 2010 may be over but the football theme continues as the girls from the San Diego Chargers rally for a Hong Kong Chinese New Year parade
Hong Kong Chinese New YearWhat does a NFL cheerleader do when the season ends? Some are lucky enough to strut their stuff in Hong Kong.

Well done New Orleans Saints. The winners of the Super Bowl over the weekend came from behind to secure an underdog triumph worthy of a Hollywood production (odds-on someone somewhere is already penning the screenplay -- "From the flood to the floodlights"). But we're even more excited now about another NFL team, who are sending over their cheerleaders for this year's Chinese New Year Celebrations.

The Chinese New Year parade on February 14 will feature performance groups from all over the world, including the Chargers Girls, cheerleaders for the San Diego Chargers.

The 90 minute parade will start at 8pm at the Hong Kong Cultural Center, heading for Canton Road. Then it will turn into Haiphon Road and emerge on Nathan Road traveling in the direction of Salisbury Road. At the Peninsula Hotel, the parade will make a U-turn and head for its terminal at New World Hotel.

The best places to see the Chinese New Year parade are around Canton Road and Nathan Road near the Sheraton Hotel. It will be extremely crowded -- you have been warned.

Details for all of Hong Kong's official Chinese New Year celebrations can be found here.
