Chinese Ice Sculptures 25 Jan 2006




Part of the celebration of Spring Festival is a display of ice sculptures. I took these pictures until my fingers couldn't move due to extreme cold. You will notice a lot of fish in different shapes and sizes. I was told that fish symbolizes prosperity, so this is to wish for prosperity in the coming year. These are taken the same night as the Lantern Display.
