I was walking around the Don Jose LRT station yesterday when I saw an alley full of vendors selling "tikoy"- then I realized Chinese New Year is coming :D
So, I follow the path of the vendors until I saw this fountain in front of China Town :)
(Tikoy (Nian gao), sometimes translated as year cake or Chinese New Year's cake, is a food prepared from glutinous rice flour and consumed in Chinese cuisine. While it can be eaten all year round, traditionally it is most popular during Chinese New Year)

Taklamakan desert around Turpan which is one of the important fertile oasis in the area. This place is considered the hottest and driest area in China.
“China Doll” was one of 234 C-46Fs built at the Curtiss aircraft plant in Buffalo, New York, U.S. She rolled off the assembly line in July 1945. She was used as a transport and glider tow plane by the U.S. military until the early 1950’s. (source: Commemorative Air Force). Photo taken at a local air show.
Wikipedia: The Chinese pond heron (Ardeola bacchus) is an East Asian freshwater bird of the heron family, (Ardeidae). It is one of six species of birds known as "pond herons" (genus Ardeola). It is parapatric (or nearly so) with the Indian pond heron (A. grayii) to the west and the Javan pond heron (A. speciosa) to the south, and these three are presumed to form a superspecies. As a group they are variously affiliated with the squacco heron (A. ralloides) or the Malagasy pond heron (A. idae).

465) Chinese Sparrowhawk
Chinese Sparrowhawk, Accipiter soloensis, Lang Rajawali
It breeds in Southeast China, Taiwan, Korea and Siberia. But winters in Indonesia and Philippines, passing through the rest of Southeast Asia, including Malaysia. Rare opportunity for me to get a shot, one evening after a heavy rainfall.

Campsis grandiflora, commonly known as the Chinese trumpet vine, is a fast-growing, deciduous creeper with large, orange, trumpet-shaped flowers in summer. It can grow to a height of 10 meters. A native of East Asia, it is less hardy than its relative Campsis radicans.

The community is keeping this slowly disappearing art alive, troupes play regularly throughout the year on small stages and temple events and every night on major events, as here during the Vegetarian Festival.
Here is also a different shot of the same actor shot a few years ago in the same temple.

The Chinese moon moth or Chinese luna moth (Actias dubernardi) from parts of southern China is an immensely attrative moth with long trailing "tails".
The wingspan is 90-150mm and the tailspan is 90-140mm.
The wings are almost translucent pale-green, that curve down into a dark pink swallow tail. The wings have small "eye spots" and usually a pink or purple edge. The moth resembles the Indian moon moth (Actias Selene), which has shorter tails.
The lifespan of an Chinese moon mothis only about 1-2 weeks and throughout the whole of this period they do not eat anything, and indeed, the Chinese moon moth does not even have a mouth, so has to depend on its reserves of fat stored up when it was a caterpillar. During the daytime they remain motionless, at night they fly quite strongly.
Picture is taken in the Passiflorahoeve (Harskamp, the Netherlands).
De Chinese maanvlinder (actias dubernardi) is een attractieve nachtvlinder die behoort tot de familie van de nachtpauwogen.
De nachtvlinder ( vroeger mot) leeft in delen van zuidelijk China.
De vleugelspanwijdte is 90 à 150mm. De vleugels zijn bijna doorzichtig bleek-groen, en eindigen in 90 à 140mm opvallend lange donker roze staarten. De vleugels hebben kleine "oogvlekken" met meestal een roze of paarse rand.
De Chinese maanvlinder lijkt sterk op het Indiase maanvlinder (Actias Selene), die kortere staarten heeft.
De levensverwachting van een maanvlinder is slechts ongeveer 1 à 2 weken. Gedurende die periode eten ze niets. Ze hebben geen mond en leven van vet opgeslagen toen ze nog een rups waren.
Het korte leven van de Chnese maanvlinder is geheel gericht op het voortbrengen van nageslacht.
Deze foto is gemaakt in de tropische vlinderkwekerij van zorgboerderij De Passiflorahoeve bij Harskamp op de Veluwe tussen Ede en Apeldoorn. Info: www.passiflorahoeve.nl/.
Van 30 mei t/m 3 oktober 2015 is zorgboerderij de Passiflorahoeve van maandag t/m zaterdag van 10:00 tot 16:00 uur geopend voor bezoekers.

399) Chinese Egret
Chinese Egret, Swinhoe's Egret, Egretta eulophotes, Bangau Cina
This is a threatened species of egret from East Asia. This species breeds on small islands off the coasts of far eastern Russia, North Korea, South Korea and mainland China. It is also a non-breeding passage migrant or winterer in Japan, the Philippines and South East Asia. Outside the breeding season the Chinese egret occurs in shallow tidal estuaries, mudflats and bays, occasionally visiting rice-fields and fish ponds.
The striking exterior of the National Swimming Center , being constructed for the 2008 Olympic Games and nicknamed, the "Water Cube," is made from panels of a lightweight form of Teflon that transforms the building into an energy-efficient greenhouse-like environment. Solar energy will also be used to heat the swimming pools, which are designed to reuse double-filtered, backwashed pool water that's usually dumped as waste.
Excess rainwater will also be collected and stored in subterranean tanks and used to fill the pools. The complex engineering system of curvy steel frames that form the structure of the bubble-like skin are based on research into the structural properties of soap bubbles by two physicists at Dublin 's Trinity College . The unique structure is designed to help the building withstand nearly any seismic disruptions.
