In a weekend of events in Leicester to mark the Chinese Lunar New Year of the Fire Horse the @highcrossleicester shopping Center filled with the sights and sounds of Chinese Culture we begin in what looks like an ordinary Saturday in the centre with shoppers riding between floors on the escalators but then with the sound of traditional drums a Chinese Lion appears making its way through the shoppers and pas JD Sports.
Neon Pink lights make for an interesting if surreal sight as the lion emerges from another store meeting children and adults with wide grins on their faces caught up in the excitement of the moment.
Outside now into St Peter`s Square and followed by a crowd of people he emerges into the daylight interacting with the public and passing Wing.Stop and other well known shops etc.
Back inside the lion is now at the performance area where he throws cabbage at the audience.
A change of pace now as we see a series of traditional fan dances performed with graceful flowing moves.
Next up is the flying dragon a spectacular energetic dance with a long flowing ribbon representing a dragons flight.
Ending on a solo fan dance we prepare for tomorrows parade and firework finale (see secondhand film). The event is organised by @cosmopolitanarts292nc .
Another great reason to
