Ming and Ping Loong

Bendigo Chinese Dragons

Ming (Brightness) and Ping (Peace) Loong arrived from Beijing in time for Bendigo Easter celebrations in 2001. Ming has a yellow beard and is the male partner of Bendigo's first female dragon, Ping which has a green beard.

Ming and Ping are each 18 metres long and require 10 people to carry each of them. Dragons are traditionally carried by men, however in the new millennium, Beijing created a new female dragon to be carried by women. According to Chinese symbolism the dragon represents masculinity and the phoenix femininity. However in some Chinese folklore the human race were created by Nu Wa, a half dragon, half woman being who made people out of clay.
