Chinese and Thai Yingge dance teams will parade and perform together during the May Day holiday

During the May Day holiday, 30 members of the youth Yingge dance team from Puning will perform and parade with several Thai Yingge dance teams. They will show Thai people and foreign tourists the "Chinese War Dance" in Ratchaburi, Bangkok, Chonburi, and other cities in Thailand. This is the first time that the Chinese and Thai Yingge dance teams will perform together in a street parade.

The Yingge dance has an important influence in overseas Chaoshan people gathering settlements, and it has been inherited and evolved in Thailand for more than a hundred years. At present, there are Yingge dance teams in 15 provinces of Thailand, including Chonburi, Phetchaburi, Udon Thani, and Ratchaburi, and Thailand is called the "second home for Yingge".
