We arrived a little late and they were already in the mist of doing the dragon dance. Miss Diva heard the loud music and completely freaked out. I removed her the room and we chatted about the dragons and how they were just people dressed in costumes and I would never allow anyone or thing hurt her. She was okay to return to the celebration as long as she could sit on my lap. Then she enjoyed the rest of the performances.

| The traditional dragon dance |
The people doing the dragon was standing on the red bench to left. They jumped of the bench and landed like this at exactly the same time. Just amazing!
This young guy was amazing to watch with this sword! Good Lord, I think I would have be missing a few body parts if I even try to attempt the things he did. Amazing to watch!
Jason and the princess
These young ladies were doing a traditional Mongolian dance
I loved the detail in their outfits. They were very beautiful to look at and lots of detail!
This young man has been competing all around the world playing this traditional Chinese instrument. It was a very beautiful sound.
These girls were very cute to watch.
Look at that shape. Simply amazing!
Miss Diva
This group of people was singing happy new year to the audience in mandarin..very nice
just a small sample of the yummy food that was there. they also had a table set up with all kinds of different teas. I know Jason tried the date tea and the jasmine tea.
The princess watching all the action very closely while eating her dumplings!
Another traditional Chinese instrument... I wish I remember what they were called but I don't. This was a very different sounding instrument but a common sound I have heard in Chinese music.
This little girl blew my socks off! She has a FANTASTIC voice....It's powerful and almost hard to believe that such a big voice could come from such a little person. She sang a song about Chinese new year and sang it very well.
These little dancers were very cute.
Great pose!
Another traditional Chinese instrument. The detail in the craving on this thing was wild. I remember thinking while in China in the Forbidden city about how much detail China puts into their world. It's wonderful to see!
Look at the detail
Thia Chi dancers. Again, we saw this a lot while in China. In the local parks, in the front of churches and in the Summer Palace!
Jason and I bought some Chinese lanterns to bring home. Well, when we got them out of the bag, there were like a zillion pieces to put these things together. Thanks goodness we took a picture of them there.
The finished lanterns that weren't so bad after all. I kind of like them. Miss diva keeps saying"there so beautifu!" Happy Chinese New Year to the chinese world!
