The Lion Dance has been a traditional part of Chinese culture for many centuries, and marked the start of the hotel’s Chinese New Year celebrations on 31 January 2014. Starting at 8:18 a.m. A Tianjin indigenous dance team performed a traditional Lion Dance in the lobby of Renaissance Tianjin TEDA Convention Centre Hotel. From there, the lion dancers weaved their way through the various outlets of the hotel, warding off evil spirits, assuring good luck, and collecting Hong Baos – good luck red envelopes – along the way.

Hotel General Manager, Mr. Nicholas Emery, greeted the Lions at the Hotel entrance and dotted the eyes of the dancing lions to celebrate the coming of the New Year.

In addition, Hotel General Manager Nicholas Emery thanked every guest present and on behalf of all the team at Renaissance Tianjin TEDA Convention Centre Hotel wished them a very happy healthy and successful year of the Horse. Â
