Art and culture | Chasing the Dragon is a provincial intangible cultural heritage project in Dongyuan, #Shangguan. On the 20 February evening, a three-day chasing the dragon activity in Heyuan, Shangguan, officially opened. About 20,000 local villagers and tourists held torches to experience this intangible cultural project. 

After six o'clock in the evening, the #villagers and tourists lined up to get the torches and light them. The chasing the #dragon team appeared on the scene with the crowd cheering and began to dance and then departed in an orderly manner. After a while, the team #danced as a long and powerful, winding and majestic #fire dragon around the night #sky in Shangguan, with a grand momentum. #artandculture

东源县上莞镇新轮村追龙是省级非物质文化遗产项目。2月20日晚，为期三天的上莞镇新轮村追龙活动在河源市东源县上莞镇新轮村正式开启。当地村民与游客约两万人手举火把，体验这一项非遗文化项目活动。

20日晚上六点多，新轮村村民和外地游客排队领取火把并集中点火，“火炬龙”追龙队伍在众人的欢呼雀跃和簇拥下登场，之后开始舞动、有序出发。没过一会儿，追龙队伍如同一条绵长威风、蜿蜒雄浑的火焰长龙围绕在上莞镇夜空盘旋伫立，气势恢宏、磅礴大气。
