Historic meets hypnotic! A vibrant troupe of 27 Chaoshan folk artists transformed Shanghai’s iconic Inlet district into a stage for the mesmerizing Yingge dance this week. With drumbeats echoing through the lanes, the performers—decked in bold costumes and wielding prop weapons—merged martial arts flair with operatic drama to ‘scare off bad vibes’ and welcome Lunar New Year blessings.
Locals and tourists alike stopped mid-selfie to soak in the spectacle, which dates back 300+ years in Guangdong Province. One visitor from France called it ‘Kung Fu Panda meets Mulan—but way more ancient and cool.’ The dance, rooted in folklore, is believed to channel protection and prosperity—perfect energy for 2024!
Psst… If you missed it, the Inlet’s hosting more cultural mashups this month. Time to level up your #ForYouPage content!
