Followed by the 24 Drums performance. The 24 Drums was started in Johor, Malaysia back in 1988. The 24 Drums represents 24 periods within the Chinese (Lunar) Calendar, which includes 立春，雨水，惊蛰，春分，清明，谷雨，立夏，小满，芒种，夏至，小暑，大暑，立秋，处暑，白露，秋分，寒露，霜降，立秋，小雪，大雪，冬至，小寒，大寒 (Unfortunately, I do not know how to translate all into Chinese, as I only understand few of the periods.) and each of the drums is play by one drummer.
The drum written 大暑, which means major Summer
The drum written 立春, which means beginning of Spring
The 24 drums are play by 24 drummers
After the 24 Drums performance, there was a martial arts performance.
As there are too many audience surrounded the performers, I only managed to snapped one nice shot
After the martial arts presentation, it was followed by Dragon Dance.
The Dragon head
The Dragon chasing the Dragon Ball
The musicians for the Dragon Dance
To be continue.....
