Longtan Park Temple Fair 龙潭湖公园庙会

Toys at the fair are simple. The bird above was the highest technology on display. The bird twirls and twitters when its cage is bumped - even a heavy footstep in the room can set it off. It is also sound sensitive - so it acts like a clapper. Below, soft cuddly stuffed animals are available in all forms. They are even made into New Year's hangings by adding a string and putting tassels on the bottom. Mice predominate because this is the year of the rat.
