Typical tradition in China/ Canton area to have Lion Dancing during the Spring Festival and/ or for other important moment like business opening.

The Lion (performed by skillful players) will climb up a stack of table/ chairs to "eat" the greenery and red boxes of cigarette This means healthy, good luck and happiness.

And there is a appearance and dancing style difference between the tradition Lion Dancing in Northern and Southern part of China.

The photo was taken in a street of Guangzhou, China, celebrating a re- opening of a big canton style restaurant after the Spring Festival holiday. It is a so called southern style Lion Dancing.
