I just couldn’t get over all the colors! This was a great year to come to China. Only on the 10 year anniversaries are the celebrations as large and spectacular as this.

Some side notes, the troops who marched had practiced for an entire year for this parade. The soldiers were all selected based on height so that the rows were perfect. It was an amazing parade.
