Here are a variety of pictures taken during the Chinese New Year celebration. I really enjoyed visiting Splendid China and the shows are fantastic. If you are in the Orlando area, reserve at least a day for the opportunity to see the best of China without the expense of traveling there. There are replicas of 60 of China's main tourist attractions at the 76 acre site and there are several top performance shows during the day.

Some of the indoor pictures taken during the show are not the best quality but no flash was allowed and I did not have a fast lens with me.

Also at the same location was ThunderHawk's excellent show with many of their tigers. ThunderHawk is a non-profit organization dedicated to the rescue of tigers and other big cats. Here is a chance to get up and personal with the tigers. Check ThunderHawk's schedule and plan your visit accordingly.

The pictures are not intended to be representative of the events. They are just my random pictures taken and a way to distribute the pictures to the participants.
