Front Description
This Limited Release pin from Hong Kong Disneyland is part of an 8-part series featuring the seasons. The pin is fashioned after a hanging banner, including a gold twine hanger at the top. The banner depicts Mickey and Minnie dressed in green outfits, while Mickey rows their canoe through the lotus-filled water. The banner is a Free-D element, with pastel purple accents and reads "Hong Kong Disneyland" at the bottom.
Near the top of the banner are the Chinese characters "??", pronounced "xiàzhì", which translate to "summer's extreme" (aka the summer solstice). More specifically though, Xiàzhì is the tenth solar term on the traditional East Asian Calendar, which divides the year into 24 solar terms based on the Suns longitude. This period of time corresponds to approximately June 21 - July 7 on the Gregorian Calendar.
