Millenium City Park is a sort of rennaisance fair style park which roughly recreates 10th century Song dynasty life, minus the hunger. The architecure is based on an enormous painting, Qingming Festival by the Riverside.
There were various shenanigins including a contortionist, a naval battle (with real cannons and some giant fish-killing underwater squibs), and a cockfight (not pictures.)
Then we spent about an hour looking at a huge relief of the painting while our guide (featured below on my mother’s right and in a silly costume) pointed out each figure in the painting and explained what they were doing/thinking/feeling. A lot was lost in translation but she was clearly very interested in her job.
