On the first day of the Chinese New Year, I went to see a 3000 year old tree. It's tradition for the locals to visit this tree on New Years day. The red ribbons tied to the tree are for good luck and wishing the tree many more years of life. That tall skinny tree in front is fake. Its there just to support the old tree at one of its branches. There were so many people taking pictures and walking around. Of course it was another cold day at 20 degrees.
Here's a video shot on my iPhone. Those are firecrackers going off in the background. Calling them firecrackers doesn't sound right. They sound more like rifle shots.
On the way back down the hill, there were many people selling food, playing games and just hanging out. Here's a couple of pictures of the food they were selling.

Squid on a skewer and baby chicks on the grill!
