The entrance of the River Hong Bao, at the Marina.
It is indeed the Year of the Tiger!
A fun time for family and friends.
And lots of traditional chinese goodies and crafts.
The massive God of Fortune, on the floating marina barge.
More crafts!
And of course, a lot of traditional chinese food!
Apparently, Chinese delicacies tend to have very high sugar and fat content - as a sign of richness. If you could afford to buy sugar, then you were considered rich.
Ducks - their hearts, their tongues, their claws and the intestines. I think i'll pass!
Lanterns - which light up at sundown!
Mr. God. God of Fortune. You cant miss him!
Another chinese tradition - Sugar Sculptures.
Lanterns
Fish lanterns.
Me - and the Tiger.
Love these photo's. The Chinese sure know how to celebrate.
