On March 11, a national dragon dance parade was held to celebrate Longtaitou Festival at Laolongtou scenic spot, the eastern starting point of the Ming Dynasty Great Wall, in North China's Hebei province.
This event invited more than 20 dragon dance and intangible cultural heritage performance teams from across the country, each showcasing distinctive regional characteristics.
As the only dragon dance team from Northeast China, Jinzhou Dragon Dance presented by Dalian's Jinpu New Area made a stunning appearance at the event.
The 25-meter-long dragon, led by a dragon ball, displayed flexible and diverse formations with nearly 40 dance moves that combined strength and elegance. The performance showcased a unique and magnificent feast of intangible cultural heritage and gained instant praise.
The parade was organized by the Intangible Cultural Heritage Department of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, the Department of Culture and Tourism of Hubei province, and the People's Government of Qinhuangdao.
