Scottsdale Fashion Square was having a Year of the Monkey celebration on Saturday to bring in the Chinese Lunar New Year.
Flag dancers, twirling their flags.
And, this lovely lady playing the Pipa, a Chinese stringed instrument. She was very good and played some relaxing songs.
It was one of those shopping day surprises!
I have a new post on Sharon's Sojourns today. I'm featuring another visit to the Vatican Museums.
This looks like great fun! Lots of color and movement and music! I'm impressed with what I see of Scottsdale these days.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun thing to stumble across!
ReplyDeleteLovely costumes!
ReplyDeleteThat was a super surprise Sharon, I love the costumes.. the ladies always look so feminine and fragile in their beautiful costumes. I'm guessing as I'm a tiger in the Chinese calendar it's not going to be my year :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great collection of photos! I'm getting more and more interested in Asian cuisine since I am trying to convert to a plant based diet. Yesterday I went to a ShenYun dance and music performance in Minneaolis and what a delight. Heard a traditional two string instrument played as a solo piece; very interesting. Supposed to easily reproduce the sound of a human voice.
ReplyDeleteSo that's the name of that instrument!
ReplyDeleteHow lucky that you were there to see this, Sharon!
ReplyDeleteThat looks like fun! I love seeing the costumes.
ReplyDeleteA very classy celebration
ReplyDeleteLovely pictures, Sharon !
ReplyDeleteLovely pix, Sharon. I went to an Asian festival on Saturday and begin a few days of pix tomorrow.
