A grand Yingge dance show was staged at the Fengshan Ancestral Temple Tourist Area in Shanwei, south China's Guangdong Province on February 21, the fifth day of the Chinese New Year.

Yingge, a traditional folk dance popular in Guangdong's Chaoshan region, blends elements of opera, dance and martial arts. It was included in China's first batch of national intangible cultural heritage items in 2006. Often staged during major festivals to pray for good fortune and ward off evil, Yingge remains a vibrant cultural emblem in Shanwei.
