HK to Hold First Int'l Luminous Dragon Dance Game

Hong Kong will host the first international luminous dragon dance competition in the world at Hong Kong Coliseum on January 6 and 7, a spokesman for Hong Kong's Leisure and Cultural Services Department said Monday.

"Four International Lion Dance Invitation Tournaments have been held in Hong Kong since 1992. To make the event more attractive, a luminous dragon dance competition is added to this popular biennial tournament," the spokesman said.

Eight luminous dragon dance teams and 20 lion dance teams from 13 countries and regions will vie for championship at the International Luminous Dragon and Lion Dance Invitation Tournament, one of the major events in Hong Kong's sporting calendar.
