Katherine, an American living in China, takes viewers on a whirlwind tour of rural Guangdong during the Spring Festival. The video opens with a playful encounter with a 'beggar lion' that goes door to door for money. From there, she stumbles upon a 'rolling on the ground golden dragon,' a mythical creature performing to scare off evil spirits. The journey leads to an ancient fortress with two walls, a buffer zone, and even a tiny coffee shop thriving among the ruins. Serendipity strikes as she finds more golden dragons grooming each other, and a local family invites her for tea, sharing snacks like dried sweet potato and glutinous rice cakes. They tour a 500-year-old fortress, hike to a temple with natural spring for tea water, and watch a reality TV show. The climax is a parade of eight mythical creatures, including a tiger whose tail was once a dangerous bamboo pole. Katherine highlights how frequent these performances are in the region and the incredible friendliness of the locals. She ends with a final meal of puffed rice in matcha broth and a bittersweet goodbye to the festivities, noting that the creatures are locked away until next year.

It performs to scare off evil spirits and bring good fortune, and it also grooms itself by putting its tail in its mouth.
What did the local family offer you to eat?
They gave us dried sweet potato (which looks like dried mango) and a chewy, slightly sweet slab made of glutinous rice.
Why was the tiger's tail dangerous?
It used to be made of a bamboo pole, which could knock you out if it hit you. Now they use a softer, rubbery material.
