Many mainland tourists were seen, and the fire dragon dance was particularly attractive to young people. Maybe it was because they had never seen it before. However, more people are expected to arrive tonight.
Zhang Guohao said that the youth troupe participating in the Charmander Dance was formed a few years ago. It was first performed last year after the epidemic. This year’s feature was the dragon dance lit by LED lights. He described the performance last night as “stealing the limelight” and bringing a lot of success. joy.
