By the restored Museum of Fine Arts there was a fair of traditional Chinese culture: clothes, food, and of course calligraphy. A little girl, perhaps seven years old, was dressed in a Tang dynasty costume and kept busy calling passersby to join one of the many stands offering insights into the Chinese past.
We stopped at a calligrapher's stand and he graciously painted my Chinese name and those of the kids.
Later we walked along the water some more and found a stage where singers from the various parts of China were performing ancient music dressed in traditional costumes from all the major dynasties of China's long imperial history.
