I hadn’t seen many kinds of the mah-jongg. It was so interesting. After 2 hours we left Tianyi Pavilion Museum and walked along the Moon Lake. This lake is like the West Lake in Hangzhou, but it’s smaller than it. Some old people do exercise near the lake. It made me think of my hometown - Guilin. Along Binjiang road, many people do exercise in the morning. Some are dancing, some are singing, some are practicing Tai Chi.

We went to the town Gods temple again and did some shopping. We bought some traditional snacks for our friends.

In the morning of the third day, we went to the railway station. The next city we would visit is Hangzhou.

The day before yesterday I saw the admissions that were bought by my colleague Ruby for her clients. She was planning to post them. So I took a picture immediately as a remembrance. The size of the admission is like the name card and it has a cover. There is some information on the cover such as map and the price of all kinds of admissions.

The admission is so cute and I love it. The mascot of Shanghai Expo is “Haibao”, which in Chinese means the treasure of the ocean. It’s designed to resemble the Chinese character for “human”, which corresponds to the theme of the Expo. If I have a free time I will go to Shanghai and visit the expo site. Then I will ask Ruby to buy them for my family and me. Because there is no booking service fee. Are you ready to go?

And the lanterns in various sizes are hung in the trees or somewhere. Besides, the lanterns owners write riddles on a piece of paper and post them on the lanterns in ancient time. If someone knows the solution to riddles, they can pull the paper out and go to the owners to check the answer. If they are right, they can get some small gifts.

In a word, the Lantern Festival is very important for Chinese people.
