Last Day of CNY
Written by A-lex on March 2, 2008 – 9:19 pm -Last day of CNY aka 15th day of the month aka Chap Goh Mei aka Chinese Valentine’s Day, where we go to a pond/lake/swimming pool/jakkuzzi or any places filled with water to throw oranges(抛柑) and collect oranges(拾柑). The lady will be the one who throw the oranges into the water area and the guys will collect those oranges using whatever technique. Why do this le? This is because during ancient, Chinese believe by doing that way it will help us find our life partner. So, anyone of you do that? Haha.. Most probably no….
Anyway, We went to ‘Fo Guang Shan Dong Zhen’ aka 佛光山东禅寺 as King and Yuan never been there before so we went there for the sake of theirs
.

When we reached there, I realised that the place become larger and larger compare to my last visit few years ago. It also got more things to see but all of it are related to the Buddha religion. On the day, they got a mini concert, some pray pray section and etc. There also got vegetarian foods store, lantern guessing (猜灯谜), garden full with flower and etc. Lastly, that place is people mountain people sea.

There always has event during some festival celebration so keep track on their schedule on their website oftenly. Click here. It’s in Chinese so banana please ask help from someone who know Chinese.
that’s it… I let the photo do the rest.
