A ten-ton rice turtle would be quite a gift! But that is what is being prepared now for a traditional “turtle gifting” cultural event that will be celebrated by the two Chinese cities of Quanzhou (which in on the China mainland) and Penghu (which in on the island of Taiwan). The turtle is 7 meters long and 5 meters wide and is being made out of sacks of rice. Visitors to the turtle often touch its head to receive blessings of happiness and safety for the New Year. This year the Chinese New Year starts on February 3. It will usher in the year of the Rabbit, one of the twelve zodiac characters that are used to designate each year.
