Lion dance at a Mid Autumn celebration... seems so strange to see lion dance at a Mid Autumn festival. Mooncakes yes, tea yes, family gathering yes, lanterns yes, but lion dance? Usually lion dances are only performed at Lunar New Year celebrations, or shop openings because they are there to 'chase away evil and bad luck'.
As strange as it was, people enjoyed the lion dance. The clang of the symbals and beat of the drum, the lively lion head bobbing up and down the crowd and the spectacle of watching something so out of the ordinary was exciting.
