Lunar New Year Fair - The Grand View Garden

This is a magnificent classical garden modeled on the one in the Chinese most famous ancient literature work “ A Dream of Red Mansions”.  I visited this garden yesterday morning.  It was cold and largely due to the street fair inside, it was kind of dirty.  But I did manage to find some interesting scenes, especially when the show started.  The show was loosely based on the literature’s characters.  Interestingly, they found some foreign students to play the roles and draw some friendly laughter from the audience.
