During the New Year, I went to the Hong Kong Brands & Products Expo 2008 organized by The Chinese Manufacturers' Association of Hong Kong. The event was from 13 Dec 2008 to 4 Jan 2009 (a total of 23 days). This year was the 43rd year to organize this event. Being the most successful one, this event attracted 2,160,000 visit counts. The average expenditure per person is HK$500 (US$64). The total sales volume was HK$270 million (US$34 million). See how crowded it can be!!
The goods offered in the booths were those products manufactured in Hong Kong. There was a wide range of products, including food, household goods, medicine, apparels, etc.

These two dragons were the mascots of this expo. They were named as 'Prosperity' and 'Stability', which are the wishes and blessings for Hong Kong in 2009. How lovely !! Me~~ow!!

In the next post, I will show you how the field looks like when the orchids are at full blossom! 
This is a close-up of the architectural features of the temple. The decorations are very colorful and elaborate. 
There is also a small pagoda which is connected to the main temple through walkways guarded by carefully-detailed baulastrade. 
From another angle, the roof of the pagoda looks like that it is pointing to the sky.
Sculptures can also be put on walls to form a wall mural. This one is about nine dragons flying in the air with different postures.
I also see a wall mural of ceramics. This is a legendary story of eight gods crossing the East Sea. Instead of using a boat, they are actually riding on a dragon. How cool.......! ;P
Luckily, I also come across a row of tao-monk marching in parade praying aloud. I think they are doing their prayers before lunch. See also that I look like having a beautiful purple flower on my head - do I look like my avator image? :)
