Hong De Lion and Dragon Dance
Often seen in festive celebrations and performed by a skilled team whose job is to bring the motionless body to life. Dragons are believed to bring good luck to people, which is reflected in their power, dignity, wisdom and auspiciousness. The length of a Dragon can range from 25 to 35 meters for the more acrobatic models, and up to 50 to 70 meters for the largest, parade and ceremonial styles. It is believed that the longer the dragon, the more luck it will bring.
