Tapestry on the side of the float. I missed an oportunity by not taking fotos of the scenes on top of the floats.



The scene on top of this float portrays a Chinese Legend. On a very cloudy, snowy day, the sick Mother of Moso, a poor Chinese man, told her son that she wanted to eat some fresh bamboo chutes, which are impossible to get in winter. But this dutiful son dug into the snowy ground, praying to the gods for mercy. Then the frozen grounds suddenly opened and he found some chutes there.
