Hey there! Have you ever seen a dragon that’s 160 meters long? 🐉 Well, in Liancheng County, in China’s Fujian Province, people celebrated the upcoming Lantern Festival with a spectacular dragon parade!
On February 10, 2025, the local Hakka community carried a massive dragon through the village streets. The dragon wound its way around, captivating both locals and tourists. It’s like a giant, colorful snake weaving through the town!
Dragon parades are a traditional Chinese folk custom. They bring people together and show everyone’s hope for a happy and prosperous life. Unity is a big part of these celebrations. When everyone works together to carry the dragon, it symbolizes teamwork and community spirit.
The Lantern Festival marks the end of the Lunar New Year celebrations. People light lanterns, solve riddles, and enjoy yummy treats like sweet rice balls called tangyuan. It’s a time for fun, family, and looking forward to a bright future!
Would you like to join a dragon parade someday? It’s an unforgettable experience! 🎉
