WEB Lunar New Year in Penang, Malaysia
Members of the Hoon Quan Wushu club perform a dragon dance ahead of the Lunar New Year in Penang, Malaysia. Dragons are a symbol of strength and good luck, and dragon dances are performed wishing blessings to the community. “We are all into martial arts and perform dragon and lion dances as a hobby,” said Peter Ep Ooi, assistant instructor of the Hoon Quan Wushu club. “We always show our skills through both lion and dragon dances for Chinese New Year but I personally prefer the dragon dance, as it is all about team work.” RNS photo by Alexandra Radu
