On the Rio: Yo-Yo Ma ~ Tango Remembrances

I will be gone this weekend to HaungShan (Yellow Mountain).

Here are more pictures from Century Park.

-An Ostrich Looking At The World: A frightened ostrich, in the exhibit, staring at the outside world with its neck buried into the desert, serves as a reminder to the viewers that animals are inhabitants of the earth and breath of life just like human beings are. Everyone, therefore, is obliged to protect the homeland we share and to show due respect to life.

-Produndity and Eternity: This exhibit lends the viewers a unique insight into the profundity of Chinese Tea culture. Being the crystalization of Chinese Tea culture, the pot has grown into a history, and a reminiscence of tradition. The hand holding fast to the handler shows the unwavering faith of the Chinese nation to keep a firm grip of the root of traditional culture.

-Strive for the Best: The exhibit of the Hong Kong Special Administrative region features a flock of the Chinese White Dolphins leaping towards the centre together from all sides, which shows tremendous vigor and vitality. It symbolizes that all the Hong Kong people are working together in concerted effort to strive for the best after the reunification with the motherland.

-Rodeo: Cowboy Style: Nothing conjures up the rough and tumble history and the fierce independence of the American West as the image of a cowboy on his horse. The exhibit celebrates steer wrestling, a wilder event that tests a cowboy's strength, speed and timing. Readding solutes the legacy of the cowboy with a popular annual rodeo drawing competitors from America and Canada.
