Dating back three centuries, the fish lantern dance derives from the prayers of fishermen for a good catch. The local folk culture began to disappear during the 1950's. Then it was revived by villagers under the encouragement of the municipal culture department. A team to perform the fish lantern dance team has been assembled. It's performed more than 160 shows in its neighboring places like Guangzhou and Hong Kong.
