This dance has evolved from an old folk dance in China. Thanks to the adaptation of the acrobats, it has become a very popular number with the audience.

There are two types of lions: big lion (played by two acrobats) and small lion (played by one man). They not only perform the various movements of the lion, rolling and jumping but also vividly portray the lion's strength and agility, and the quiet and playful side of the lion's character as well. Accompanied by the rhythmic Chinese traditional percussion instruments, it brings out a gay and festive atmosphere, vivid and jubilant.
