天街小雨润如酥，草色遥看近却无，最是一年春好处，绝胜烟柳满皇都。什刹海边荷花市场，银锭流觞，碧波荡漾。十二生肖谐趣幽默，荷花灯舞流盼婆娑。游龙舞狮共闹春，团扇秧歌同映趣。流光溢彩中洋溢着浓郁的民间情趣。 Chapter Five: Spring by Shichahai Lake As the drizzle showers the streets and soft wind paints the city green, Beijing is just immersed in its best season of spring. By the Lotus Market, on the Bridge of Silver, the dragons soar when lotus lanterns are sparkling. The lions swirl while the twelve symbolic animals are dancing with joy. Girls in graceful mandarin gown with fans in their hands make the most touching brush to the beauty of Beijing.
