An Explosion of Color

Posted on June 4, 2011July 8, 2024 by Jo

Literally!  I joined some friends this morning at the Olympic Water Park (rowing venues) in Shunyi for some activities to celebrate Dragon Boat Festival. As we were standing along the shore waiting for the interminable opening ceremonies to end and the dragon boat races to begin, there was a huge explosion from the opposite side of the canal. Once I recovered from the shock, this is what I saw:

A couple of other scenes from the morning:

The Middle Aged Ladies Lion Dancing Club

Drummer Girl

The Ladies Bus — giving new meaning to the term “port-a-potty.”

Happy Dragon Boat Festival everyone!
