Spring festival

Some pictures of the Han River. I think it's the largest branch of the Yangtze River, very peaceful and soothing. It was a clear day and by the side of the river there are many ping-pong tables, basketball courts, volleyball/badminton nets. So many people were enjoying one of the first sunny days in a long time.
The round red lanterns were part of spring festival decorations at this little shopping plaza. You can see them often here in China. From what I understand however, if you see one of those with a pink light, especially after dark, it signifies a brothel haha, and also from my understanding (not personal experience), foreigners are not served... I've heard some guesses as to why, but i'll let you make your own.
and last but not least, a picture by the big bell :)
