'Tigers' everywhere as Taiwan prepares for Lunar New Year

Tiger sculptures and totems decorate the streets of Taiwan's capital city Taipei, while people shop for spring couplets to welcome in the Year of the Tiger on February 1.
In the Chinese zodiac, the tiger represents strength and power. One Taipei resident hopes it can "tame and put down the pandemic."

Lunar New Year temple celebrations across the island have been scaled down and some festive events cancelled due to an upsurge in virus cases caused by the Omicron variant.
