Dragon Dance Festival Night Hangzhou in at a public square during a festival in Hangzhou

Dragon Dance Festival Night Hangzhou

by Sue Bell

Heavy overcast skies press low over a public square in Hangzhou, where a traditional dragon dance unfolds under the faint glow of ground lights. The long, segmented dragon body, painted in vibrant reds and golds, snakes across the pavement as performers in matching red tunics lift it high. Their faces show fierce determination, muscles taut beneath the fabric as they maneuver the pole. Starlight filters weakly through the thick clouds, casting soft shadows that stretch across the stone tiles. The dragon's scales catch the dim ambient light, creating a rhythmic pattern of reflection against the dark, damp ground. At the front, the dragon's head, detailed with brass horns and a wide mouth, glows faintly under the street lamps.
