This is the traditional lion dance performance by the Rawang Xuan Long Dragon and Lion Dance lion dance team at the 26th Malaysia Lion Dance Championship held on the 14th to 15th September 2019 at Glo Damansara mall, Selangor.

In this competition, the contestants are required to perform the traditional lion dance routine which depicts the daily routine of the lion, such as getting ready for bed, sleeping, waking up and grooming and chasing fleas. The act also shows the interactions between the lion and its surroundings such as drinking from the nearby river and perform a dangerous river crossing with flair and agility. Most acts also feature the "Choi Chiang" or to forage for greens and proceeds to eat them. Some acts include encounters with a snake or a giant spider blocking the lion's path, who proceeds to attack and kill it by stomping on it repeatedly. In some performance, the lion also encounters some liquor and became drunk after drinking the intoxicating elixir. In the finale, the lion will overcome the day unscathed and returns to its cave dwelling.
