Lion and dragon dances

The banging and drumming went louder and louder.  All of a sudden, they stopped and the dances finished.

The spectacular lion and dragon dances took place along the waterfront in Tsim Sha Tsui this afternoon.  My family made a trip to watch it.  I like the lions more than the dragon because the lions are more nimble.  They were active and agile in jumping, acting curious and interacting with the crowd.  The most special scene was when the lions ate lettuce on the bamboo sticks.  Firecrackers going off was also cool.
