The Chinese New Year Fair is held in various locations in
Hong Kong, Guangzhou and some China Towns around the world.
It is part of custom to welcome the Chinese New Year.
The fair gathers hundreds of stalls for various goods.
Half of the area is for selling auspicious flowering plants.
Another half is for selling dry stuff for Chinese New Year.
The fair draws lots of people to visit.
The crowd peaks at a few hours before and after midnight of the New Year's Day.
The stall tenders would try to sell all their stocks
in these few hours before the fair closes.
Thanks Raymond for suggesting me to capture pictures of the Chinese New year Fair.

There's will be firecrakers, dragons, fireworks, food stall full or wonderful and even strange stuff like chicken feet... I'll see colors, hear the noise, smell the incense... and see it all though your eyes CM...
