囍 Double Happiness (Chinese Wedding) / 中國北京南鑼鼓巷 Nanluoguxiang, Beijing, China / SML.20140503.6D.31993.P1

When I was walking around Nanluoguxiang (南鑼鼓巷), a wedding procession suddenly came out of nowhere. It does not appear to be a performance. It seems that a real wedding is in progress. How did I know that it is a wedding? By the double happiness (囍) script on the litter. Red is the color of good fortune in Chinese culture, so when you are in China, you will see the color red used for almost everything festive.

 

Photographed with the Canon EOS 6D + Canon EF 24-70 f/2.8L USM.
