On New Year's Day 2013, Acetop Precious Metals Limited sponsored an annual world-class event -- The Hong Kong Dragon and Lion Dance Extravaganza. We wished that the occasion would bring good luck and good investing to all our clients and our partners.

On the day of the parade, Tsim Sha Tsui bustled with energy. From the five major Chinese traditional lucky animals -- the Golden Dragon, the Southern Lion, the Northern lion, the Kirin, and the Pixius -- more than 800 of these animals were gathered together to assemble a grand Dragon and Lion Dance Parade. They have indeed livened up the propitious occasion with their joyous presence. Donning T-shirts with Acetop logos, three thousand high-spirited participants began the parade in front of the Acetop Precious Metals Limited building on Canton road, Tsim Sha Tsui, and continued on to pass beside the grandstand across from 1881 Canton Road. They then passed through the Hong Kong Cultural Centre and continued along the Avenue of Stars until it ended at the Urban Council Centenary Garden on East Tsim Sha Tsui. The grand parade drew nearly 70,000 locals and tourists to watch the lucky animals wind their way through the streets on a festive New Year's Day.

Acetop Precious Metals Limited was the major sponsor of the Dragon and Lion Dance Extravaganza. Our management team, along with Mrs Carrie Lam, the chief secretary of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region; Mr Lin Wu, deputy director of the Central Liaison Office in Hong Kong; and the committee members of the Legislative Council, such as Mr Chan Kam-lam, Ms Starry Lee Wai-king, and Ms Ann Chiang Lai-wan, plus other Hong Kong celebrities that were invited to officiate the ceremony. In her speech at the ceremony, Chief Secretary Carrie Lam gave special thanks to our management team for Acetop Precious Metals Limited's parade sponsorship.

To make the 2013 Dragon and Lion Dance Extravaganza more meaningful, the sponsor especially made an arrangement in an effort to set a new world record for the largest Kirin performance -- a spectacular parade where 200 kirins danced at the same time and proved to be the largest ever Chinese lion dance parade. On-the-spot representatives of the Guinness World Records gave the thumbs up and certified the new record-breaking event. Our parade attracted huge media attention from all over the world. The local TV station, the Hong Kong TVB, was there as well to do live broadcasts for the world-class event.

For the comfort and for the parade to be best enjoyed, Acetop Precious Metals had reserved the VIP seating for our valued customers to witness the birth of a new Guinness World Record and the stunning performances, such as the high pole lion dance.

With this New Year’s gift of a Dragon and Lion Dance Parade, the management team and all the staffs at Acetop Precious Metals Limited wishes all our customers and partners a Prosperous New Year and Smooth Sailing into their Investment Journey!
