The Shatoujiao Fish Lantern Dance is a unique folk dance, popular in the Shatoujiao area in Shenzhen’s Yantian District and the New Territories of Hong Kong.
It is a must-performance for fishermen during festivals and ancestral worship ceremonies.
The props used in the dance are exquisitely crafted. They are first made into the shapes of fish using bamboo strips, then covered with paper and colored before being coated with tung oil.
