Dragon Dance, Kirin Dance, Lion Dances are the traditional dances performed during the new year or big celebrations. The synchronicity and juggling moves of the performers are simply unforgettable. This is my first time to watch up close, indeed very exciting. Although there were a few rain droplets from the sky, the enthusiasm of the crowd was not affected at all. | 舞龍、舞麒麟、南北醒獅表演是每逢春節或重大慶典中常見的中國傳統歌舞;武師的韻律和戲法實在令人難忘。這是我首次這麼近看,當然是興奮萬分。雖然有點天雨,但圍觀者的興趣絲毫不減。 |
Kirin dance was performed on stage later. Since I didn't get a view broad enough to take pictures, the lovely Kirin dance was not captured. But I can assure you, it's another formidable performance! | 舞麒麟於稍後在舞台上表演。由於人潮阻隔,我並沒有為麒麟拍照。不用多說,你也可以肯定麒麟舞也是同樣精彩的。 |
My big bonus today was to meet the God of Fortune! | 今天還有幸接到財神的金元寶! |
