Huangpu launches Year of the Tiger tram car

A tram car with tiger elements was put into use in Guangzhou's Huangpu district on Jan 26 to mark the upcoming Chinese New Year, also known as the Year of the Tiger.

The tram car adopts red as its dominant color. It is supported with a caricaturized tiger at the windows of each wagon, while featuring elements of Chinese knots, red lanterns, fireworks, and the Chinese character "福" (meaning "happiness" or "blessing").
