Chinese New Year is about a week away. Chinatown is bustling with people especially at night. I love the pretty lights at night.

Scott from Czech Republic

Great shot! The lights look really magical!

And I like that you can only see the "sea of black hair" below...quite a contrast to the vibrancy of the neon of the lights.

Great shot! I don't like crowds either, but this shot really captures the festive atmosphere.
