What makes this experience unique?
This experience transforms the image of the lion head from a familiar symbol into your own creative story.

This cultural workshop takes you on a journey to explore the history and significance of lion dance art in Vietnam - a tradition closely associated with Tet holidays, grand openings, and important events, conveying messages of dispelling evil spirits, seeking good luck, peace, and prosperity. The highlight of the experience is the hands-on activity of decorating the lion's head, where each person creates a work of art with their own personal touch and special spiritual value.
