Caught a performance featuring 千手观音 (like the above) and some of Hangzhou historical events/romantic stories. The well-known Kannon with one thousand arms was indeed impressive live. The effect and timing was just right which was hard to come by having perfect coordination between so many.

紫砂壶 + 龙井茶
Perfect match

How often do you spend a few hundred bucks on tea leaves?
Extravagance but worth it I guess.
After all I hate caffeine.
