Firecraker Dragon of BinYang

21 Feb

The Singapore Chingay 2010 kicked off with the entrance of the Firecraker Dragon of BinYang. It was presented by Pao Long Troupe from China, GuangXi. The ban of firecraker since 1973 was brought back to live with the loud burst of firecraker as the troupe went down the route of F1 Pit.

It was impressive and definitely a welcome sight as many Chinese Singaporean who live in the early days of the 60s and 70s would have missed the vibrancy of the Lunar New Year due to the strong silence from the absent of the firecraker.
