I have told some of you in the past about the water show at Tianfu Square, but haven't SHOWN you the show. Let' stry and see if that works here today.
Tianfu Square is the center of Chengdu.
It is being built as the center hub of the subway system that is currently under construction. The subway has a long way to go and should be complete sometime in the next, oh, 50 years (they could use those engineers from 2000 years ago).
However, the square is almost complete. What is finished is a series of water fountains. Every night from 08:00 - 09:00 PM, the water show runs featuring Chinese opera blaring from speakers and colored lights flashing through the fountains, spot lightlights shining on surrounding buildings, and lights built into the sidewalks and surrounding grounds. All of this is computer coordinated to match the music. I do think they did a nice job with this.
Apparently everybody else thinks they did a nice job as well since the square will be packed with thousands of people who come to watch. Street vendors are everywhere and for an hour it is quite the party.
So my experiment today is to try and attach some two videos for you to enjoy.
Hope it works.
And if you look closely in the background, you will see a statue of Chairman Mao in front of the Sichuan Science and Technology Museum - but he is under cover during a refurbishment project - but you should see his arm sticking up.
