Mainly distributed in Foshan, Suixi, Guangzhou and other counties and cities in Guangdong. Guangdong lions are regarded as auspicious things to ward off evil spirits and avoid harm. Every festival or major event, there will be a lion dance, which will last forever and be passed down from generation to generation.
