Hong Kong jewelery shops present various gold pigs to
celebrate the forthcoming Year of the Pig. Interestingly, the next Chinese
lunar year also belongs to the "gold" in the Chinese view of the "Five
Elements", and a "gold pig" year means "ultimate fortune", and these
humble and lovely gold pigs are the best interpretations of the new year.
The pictures were taken on January 7, 2007. [photo:
