I ask Elaine to come along, as she told me Amber love to see lion dance and she love chinese new year, i told her every year at the market got lion dance, ask her to come if she can make it. Now let the pictures do the talking.
This year, since Sunday also the last day of chinese new year, so they make it more happening, they light 8 stripe of fire crackers!! We are truly enjoy the bing bing bang bang and the loud sound!

After the fire crackers at the entrance, the lion troupe proceed to the centre of the market to perform lion dance.
