I have witnessed Chinese New Year from Houhai Lake for the last three years. The view of the bridge, the lake, the Drum and Bell Towers in the background - it makes for a breathtaking view of the fireworks that bring in the New Year. For the first time, I brought along my camera.

过去的三年里，在后海湖边，我都见证了中国新年。背景下的大桥、湖泊、钟楼和鼓楼——这些地方都是在新年观看礼花表演的绝佳位置。这是我第一次携带了照相机。
