What are they painting on the lion's head before the parade?? I've seen other videos where they do this too .. but can't find an explanation anywhere. ????
Terry, the painting on the eyes (Hoy Kong) is a very important step. This is a deep rooted belief for harnessing the spirit of awakening, prowess and strength to the loin dancers. In short, giving life to the lion performances.
East Point Road, that's where I grew up. Used to be a couple 5 story buildings, Jardine Company was at the end of the road, cannon would be blasted every afternoon at 12 pm. some good old time.
