      The show featured 16 folk dances, including the "Drum Dance of Celebration," which introduced drums used to celebrate peace; "The Coin Stick Dance," often performed on the Chinese New Year; and "The Beautiful Peacock," which is considered by the Tai people as the symbol of prosperity, good fortune and happiness. Colorful, authentic costumes depicted the different provinces of China.
