- Depiction: Beyond the mountain lies the Shuibo Liangshan scenic area, where a temple fair bustles for ten days during the Chinese New Year. Crowds throng, bustling with handsome men and beautiful women, all dressed up to impress. Behind stands the majestic stronghold of the Water Margin, the walls overlooking a square that welcomes a surge of people once a year. A mix of all walks of life, buying and selling, creates a harmonious scene. It reminds me of the grand marketplace of Liangshan from the book "Water Margin," with its "blue smoke curling up, peaks looming faintly. Swords, spears, halberds, axes, hooks and forks." Red lanterns for the festival raised high, permeating the air with festive vibe. My son and wife love to participate in the entertainment activities, spending money on dozens of ring tosses, trying their luck. Often, my son squees excitedly, while I watch their 'performance' from the sidelines. At the this moment when everyone celebrating, such contentment must surely be the greatest happiness
