On the 8th day of lunar year, many shopping malls in Foshan were reopened for business. To kickstart a brand-new year, lion dancing teams were invited to some malls, causing a real sensation, which looks upbeat, festive and vibrant.

The Louvre International Furniture Expo Center is one of those attention spots. On February 19th, beckoned by a few uplifting beating drums, 32 "lions" danced in formation to help the mall start a fresh year in business. The phenomenal performance attracted many employees, businesses and even those who walked by.

"Lion dancing" in Foshan has long been crowned as the "King of lions". The 32 lions, agile and powerful, struck mighty dance poses as if they were bringing "real lions" alive on the scene.  

Following the sound of gongs and drums, the "lions" showcased great complexity with their dance moves - leaping, shaking, flapping, spinning, crawling... The "lion" stood up on a high wood pile became a highlight moment with a round of warm applause from the crowd. 

The lion dancing performance marked the opening up of the entire center. It is wished that all stores in the center can have a booming year in business.
