The Baby of the Year of the Snake, Quanzhou

In the distance are the East and West Towers of Quanzhou, a pair of stone towers built during the Southern Song Dynasty in China. These towers are the tallest and largest in the country and are situated within the Tang Dynasty's ancient Kaiyuan Temple, which is a World Cultural Heritage Site. Nearby, there is a cute snake-shaped New Year mascot, designed to welcome and celebrate the upcoming Spring Festival in the Year of the Snake in 2025!
