Awesome Chocolate Exhibitions

Many people like eating chocolate. We can enjoy different kinds of favors and degree of sweetness. It is more than something to be put into our mouth. With creativity, chocolate is a good ingredient for arts and crafts. The visual impact can be awesome. Let’s take a look at some stunning examples. All photos were taken by the author.

Lantern Carnival in 2012

This year the Lantern Festival falls on the 6^th of February. There are many Chinese style big lanterns in display. Hope you enjoy seeing my photos.

Every year there is a big lantern carnival at Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong to celebrate the Lantern Festival. It is the Chinese Valentine’s Day. The default location is behind the Hong Kong Cultural Centre. This time the displayed area is even larger, covering Sausbury Garden as well.

The lantern carnival adopts a new theme every time and the Chinese Zodiac for 2012. Visitors will see big lanterns of the 12 representatives in the Chinese Zodiac. The photo sharing is arranged according to the standard sequence – begins with rat and ends with pig.

1.      Rat

2.      Ox

3.      Tiger

4.      Rabbit

5.      Dragon (2012 is the year of Dragon. Its lantern is the biggest.

Pity that I failed to capture the whole lantern in one picture.)

6.      Snake

7.      Horse

8.      Goat

9.      Monkey

10.  Rooster

11.  Dog

12.  Pig

Besides the Chinese Zodiac lanterns, you will see other big lanterns with characters symbolizing wealth and good fortune.

Fish (Its Chinese pronunciation is the same as the Chinese word “surplus”.

Thus, people will bless one another to have “surplus every year”.)

The God of Wealth

The Chinese believe that seeing peacock with its wing fully opened will bring forth good luck.

Wish every reader has a prosperous year of Dragon and a happy Valentine’s Day.
