Dances with the Lion, Dragon and Fairy.
In any Chinese procession and celebrations, there bound to be Lion dances, sometimes even Dragon dances. Have you heard of Fairy Dances?
Here is some pictures of the Fairy Dance. They put on a huge figure of the fairy and just swing, and dance wildly on the street at the sound of their small drums and other musical instruments. Like someone possessed!
Northern Lion Dance
You can differentiate by the hairy body and legs. The design is also slightly different.
Southern Lion Dance
Dragon Dance
I always fascinated by the dragon dance, with the colourful design and members up to 15 person manage to move about without getting the dragon entangle up! Sometimes, the leader would throw fire bomb that simulate the dragon’s breathing.
More to come .....

At the assembly area, there are many stages, where Chinese Opera performed, to entertain the Gods and the devotees.
