[@haniahannslew4108]

OMG! The acrobat and the lucky fish dance combining with technology are brilliant. They have put in lots of painful practices to have this perfect execution and beautiful show. Thank you very much for the brilliant shows. The Hanfu dresses are so beautiful and elegant. The drum in the opening show is so awesome powerful energy and the cute kid costumes with dragon head…. Those baby ducks are so cute trying to be swans. All kids and theirs costumes in this Spring Festival Gala are so adorable 🥰 This year’s Spring Festival Gala is 💯 so beautiful brilliant magnificent. Thank you to all for putting up this wonderful Spring Festival Gala show. 🙏
