After being zapped into the Japanese architecture inside China Town, we continued our journey to another section of the town only to find out that there was a parade marching along far ahead. We rushed to see what it was all about.
It turned that the commotion was in part a festival held that seemed to celebrate something I was not quite sure of. But, it was our lucky day though we caught a glimpse of it.
But one more float was coming along the way. Not quite sure of what that was until I noticed that some people were actually standing by the street to greet them. I guess some people did know about it all along. Is it carried out on a daily basis?
A dragon float typical of any Chinese-related festivities was seen passing us by. It looked ordinary, but that's not the point. The fact that we barely missed the parade and accidentally encountered it along the way...was a bliss in itself.
Then..off we went to another section of China Town. It looked cool, eh? The houses and the neighborhood seemed pretty much neatly arranged.
Restaurant after restaurant seemed to dot the landscape of this whole area.
See the lamp pole? A decorated red pole with lamps on it is also a typically common sight there.
Then..we bumped into a small Chinese park situated in one corner of the street. We did not have much time, but managed to take a peep into it.
Loved the little bridge.
This is the lamp pole I was referring to. See the intricate details on the lamps?
Silhouette of the lamps made it even strikingly & visibly distinctive.
Then...another unique building in contrast to the white car parked right in front of it...imbued with the red lamp poles next to it.
At least..to me..they posed a nice touch
to our experience of exploring the China Town.
