The dragon lion team
I came across this amazing performance by chance. It was at a small local temple in a narrow street in Zhonghe. The occassion was something to do with promoting a candidate in the local elections. The performers had 龍獅團 (dragon lion team) written on their shirts so I have used this as the title for the post. I'll let the photos tell the story with a few brief comments.
The lion ascends the steps.
The lion in mid-flight.
Another impressive leap.
The lion ascends at the end of the performance.
To finish it all of the team gave an impressive drumming performance.

Hello David^^
I’ve been reading your blog for 2 weeks now, all of your articles are really interesting.
You’ve discovered a lot of thing which I didn’t care about.
As being a Taiwanese, I also feel pleased that a western whould rather learn troditional Chineses than simplefied Chinese.
Are you from Australia? because I’m studying in Noosa, Sunshine coast, Australia at the moment.
If you need any help, you’re more than welcome to contect with me^^
