Gods on Parade: Special Tradition in rural China

Hi. I'm Leah. This video is about the New Year's "Gods on Parade" tradition in the Chaoshan area of Guangdong Province. Even though this event happened 3 months ago, the vibrant atmosphere still lingers in my mind, and I couldn't wait to share the experience with you.

In this video, you'll see the "Yingge Dance," the decorations, and the people following the parade. I'll also explain the cultural background along the way.
