Twenty-eight elite lion dance troupes from Hong Kong, Macao, and Guangdong province showcased breathtaking high-pole acrobatics and dynamic routines in the Kam Tin Heung Lion King Competition on Saturday. 

Held in the square of Chou Wong Yi Kung Study Hall in Shui Tau Village as part of the post Jiao Festival celebrations, the event highlighted traditional Cantonese culture. The participants also paraded through the area, interacting with residents and offering blessings.
