Welcome to the Year of the Monkey : Ancient Culture Street

1 February 2016 –

It's Spring Festival time here in China!  For most of the world this holiday is called Chinese New Year but here in China they call it Spring Festival. 

Although, the nippy temperatures and Arctic wind blasting in our faces this morning don't exactly conjure up spring time images.  We're still knee-deep in winter!  

Here are a few photos from Ancient Culture Street.  Freezing cold days also seems to mean blue skies!
