The Puzhai fire dragon dance is a traditional performance seen during the Lantern Festival in Puzhaizhen village in Meizhou.
The performance dates back to the Qing Dyansty (1644-1911) and for generations has attracted many people each year. The dragon, 35 meters long, can open its mouth, bend its body and shake its tail. It can also blow some fire and spit a ball during the dance. The shocking performance is often finished by about 100 strong men.
