Dragon Dance Ceremony

by emily on December 30, 2009

This is one of the most interesting things to watch!  The dragons dance all around, jump up on their hind legs, and are fed and get eyes painted on.  Very interesting!

Opening Ceremony Dragon Dance

by emily on December 28, 2009

I recently went to an opening ceremony where they had the traditional dragon dance!  It was one of the coolest traditions that I’ve seen here.  I’ll be posting a photo gallery later.

Opening Ceremony Fireworks

by emily on December 27, 2009

China lights fireworks to celebrate everything!  Plus it scares off evil spirits.  Businesses will also send flowers such as the ones pictured upon the opening of a new business.
