Will You Want Ice With That!
Hey,
.
Now, as you know, I am not usually very complimentary about China, but today it makes a nice change to write about something pleasant.
Pretty things are happening again in Northern China, on the edge of Beijing.
.
It is the end of the traditional Lunar Festival and it is being celebrated by the creation of something wonderful.
.
The Yangquing Ice festival is attracting many thrilled visitors who are awed by a cityscape of ice, which is filled with glowing coloured lights contained inside the ice, and which also reflects the twinkling lights hung above the scene.
.
Enthusiastic visitors can walk around, on, and through the display by using the ice tunnels cut through the glowing ‘buildings’.
.
.
There are apparently fireworks too, cleverly created by casting molten iron against the frozen ice walls.
.
.
Beijing Annual Ice Festival.
.
The Ice Festival will magnificently usher in The Year Of the Dragon.
.
Now that is something worth seeing.
Have a shiny one yourself!
J.
