Lion dancers perform for celebrations such as the Lunar New Year and Mid-Autumn Festival. Vietnamese lion dances usher blessings for weddings and new business openings. During the performance, live instruments represent the beating of the lion’s heart. On top of the lion’s head, there are mirrors to ward off the evil spirits. #tetfestival #beautiful #picoftheday #instadaily #tet #lunarnewyear #liondance #blessing
