Chinese New Year Lion Dance
San Francisco's Chinese New Year festival has grown to be the largest celebration of Asian culture outside of Asia. Artists Corey Chan and Jeff Lee carry on the tradition of the lion dance and lion-making, which comes together in an explosion of light, color and fireworks as the parade's finale, the astonishing dragon, glides through the nighttime streets of San Francisco.
