#TheGreatBeautyofGuangdong On the nights from October 3 to 5, the fabulous fire dragon dance, the cultural activity of the year, was held in Chenshan Village, Yayao Town, Heshan County, Jiangmen City. The 100-meter-long fire dragon with incense glowing with lights, winding forward, amused some 115,000 visitors.

The custom of fire dragon dance in Chenshan Village, as an inheritance of mass cultural activities for hundreds of years, is conventionally scheduled to be organized in the fall of each year. A hundred-meter-long fire dragon is held high and dances deftly with the help of more than 100 young and strong villagers to parade in the village. During the dragon parade, villagers and tourists follow the lead, walking along the streets and lanes to celebrate the festival, exchange festive blessings, and feel nostalgic memories of the centuries-old folk culture.
