A team from Tengxian County of Wuzhou, south China’s Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region recently won the championship at a national dragon and lion dance competition held in the county.
Bringing out their skills without reservation, the team managed to fit their movements perfectly with the music and superbly mimic various kinds of facial expressions and body gestures of lions, winning the highest score among all teams. Tengxian county, known for holding a long history of lion dance, sent altogether four teams to the competition, harvesting three golds and one silver.
Through the platform of Chinese Dragon and Lion Dance Sports Association, the county has also been actively supporting the lion dance teams to go out and participate in domestic and foreign competitions.
At the same time, by holding major events featuring dragon and lion dance in the county to create a good atmosphere for the sport, Tengxian is also expecting to attract more young people to join the efforts of inheriting the valuable cultural heritage.
Participants discussed the boundary between nature and ecotourism, whether mass visits to unique areas can remain safe, the responsibilities of investors, and how to prepare tourists for visiting specially protected natural areas.
The head of state expressed confidence that the Forum will be held at a high level, and that its results will contribute to the development of tourism in Russia and the expansion of humanitarian and business ties.
