Cangxian Lion Dance is a unique folk art with a long history, which was inscribed into the national intangible cultural heritage list in 2008. Thanks to the policy and funding support of local authorities in recent years, the traditional art has been well passed on. There are nine registered lion dance teams and nearly 1,000 performers in the county.
