Manchester Town Hall at Chinese New Year
This was taken earlier in the year, of course, outside Manchester Town Hall.
On 23 October 2015 the Chinese president Xi Jinping visited Manchester, England.
Manchester does have a vibrant Chinatown and community.
Mr Xi arrived in the city on Thursday night after touching down at Manchester Airport.
As anyone familiar with my Flickr photostream will know, my favourite building anywhere on the planet is Manchester Town Hall. Mr Xi visited the Town Hall during his visit. A couple of years ago I was honoured to have one of my photos of the Town Hall appear on a sheet of Royal Mail postage stamps and one of my pics of the Chinese Arch has appeared in the official tourist guide to Manchester - MC10.
The Town Hall is situated in Albert Square which has been the location for some of my most cherished and most viewed Flickr pics including my Multi Coloured Dreadlocks images.
Mr Xi then visited Manchester City's football ground The Etihad Stadium. As anyone familiar with my Flickr photostream will know I'm a City fan, too!
I like it in Manchester, having lived here all my life and I hope the President did too.
