A parade to celebrate this year’s “Double Celebration” will be led by a mechanical installation called the “Spirit of the Dragon-Horse” which was on display for the first time in Macau during a media tour given by the Municipal Affairs Bureau (IAM) in Coloane yesterday.
The 47-tonne yellow creature – named “Luhng Máh” in Chinese, combines the Chinese words for “dragon” (“Luhng”) and “horse” (“Máh”).
According to an IAM statement, the parade aims to mark the “Double Celebration” of the 70th anniversary of the establishment of the People’s Republic of China (PRC) and 20th anniversary of Macau’s return to the motherland.
