They are lions although they are often mistaken as dragons by westerners. Maybe people should be forgiven for making such mistakes since lions are not native to China. But at least there are some lions in China’s zoos, while there is no real dragon in China.

The lion is traditionally regarded as a guardian creature and his ceremonial acrobatic dance will summon luck and fortune to all.

Performers teach two audience members how to perform the lion dance. The two lions then “battle” in lion costumes and the winner is determined by applause and receives a prize.

Night market is an unfamiliar concept in the West.

In Canada, stores close very early. You can’t even shop after work.

In Asia, most people go to a night market not for shopping but for eating. This is especially true in Taiwan. At some large night markets there, you can also find all kind of games to play. Very often, there is a Chinese temple somewhere in the night market and people can go to bai-bai. Night market is a great place to hang out.

NAAAP(North American Association of Asian Professionals) and T&T supermarket has brought a night market to downtown Toronto this weekend following NAAAP’s successful Night It Up! night market in Markham earlier this summer.

There are dozens of vendor booths selling mostly food from around the world, mostly Asian cuisine. There are bands and groups sing or dance at two stages.
