With spectators pouring water on participants, a "water dragon" dance is performed in Zhouzi in Peng'an county, Sichuan province, on Wednesday. Wearing a willow-twig crown on their heads, dancers maneuver the "dragon" made of branches. Stretching back more than 1,000 years, the dance was originally held as an offering for a good harvest, but is a spectacular show for tourists today.
