Chinese Changing FACE MASK SHOW in ChengDu, China

This show was fantastic!  Performed by a professional acting crew while you eat dinner cooked in front of you... we had the best seat in the house, thanks to our good and gracious friends, the Weavers.  The venue is in ChengDu China, which is a very large mega population city in western China, and it is "near" to the large city of ChongQing which has 32,000,000 people more or less.  These two cities are connected by high speed train and a highways system for those who would drive the 300 km distance, or about 200 miles.  By train, it is a 2 hour trip, and our family rode the train.  We were going to Chengdu for the first time, and after being in China for 10 months now we had never yet left the city.  But our little daughter Audrey, 8 years old, was going to be baptized and we were meeting up with a more formally organized branch of our church, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints in ChengDu where they have an official branch there with over 50 members.  It was a great weekend, and we were treated to this dinner show by our friends who live in the City, the Weavers.

Chinese New Year 新年快乐 2014 in ChongQing, China 重庆中国


Like racing through the streets of Disneyland on he opening hour, our family set to the streets to chase the fireworks shows.  We ran from place to place and this video documents our adventure.

Chinese New Year 2014 in ChongQing China fireworks, a war on the evil spirits to drive them away, each year the noise, the flashes, the colorful fireworks show are happening all over... we ran through the streets to catch as many as we could in 40 minutes.  How exciting.  中国新2014年在重庆中国烟花。传统说,这些烟花爆竹吓唬邪灵离开,带来好运气。每年有大量的噪声,闪烁着五颜六色的烟花都见识过...招摇过市我们家跑去看尽可能多的烟花,我们可以在40分钟内看到。多么令人兴奋。
