Lantern Day



The last day of winter holiday is Lantern Day. The fireworks are nearly as intense as they are on the first.



The lanterns were quite interesting, with designs, pictures, or calligraphy on the sides.



The old area of Jinli Street was packed with people, even though there was a cover charge to get in.

Went back..



The one place visitors have to see when they visit.



Peacocks; I didn't see any females or babies this time. Wrong time of year maybe.



When I'd been before there was nobody in the nursery, but there were a few this time. They were a treat to watch.
