Kirin Dance ~麒麟

Pictures taken in 1 of the most popular temple in Lahad Datu, Guan Yin Miao. 2 years back they still have Lion Dance here but dunno why they prefer to have Kirin Dance ~麒麟.HHhmm...... I still prefer to watch Lion ler..... anyway..


According to some of the Old Ancient Chinese Referrences, A kirin should look like this... Something like a breed of Tiger and Dog.

And these would be the "humanized" version of 麒麟. Follow by some Kung Fu performance.

    Kirin dance and lion dance almost the same ler ~ just the different between background music and the Kirin shake their head more.... and lion seems to have more stunts and they come in different colors too ~ I've seen Blakc, Green, Yellow, Orange, White....
