Behind the continuous "show performances" lies a training process that lasts for many months. Ho Quang Chinh, one of the founders of the lion dance troupe in Nghe An, said that the team, with about 40 members aged 12-40, spent nearly three months of the summer training to prepare for the Mid-Autumn Festival.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is not only the busiest time of year for lion dance troupes but also provides a source of seasonal income for many, especially young members. Behind the vibrant performances are months of diligent practice. And more than just economic value, each drum beat and each lion dance contributes to preserving the beauty of traditional culture, creating a lively and intimate atmosphere for each Mid-Autumn Festival.
