“Waist drum is a fun exercise activity that build fitness and cultivates sentiment. It brings happiness and productivity, especially after retirement. Many members of the Association experienced an increase in energy, good health and vitality after joining the waist drum team.“ (https://hail.to/lan-yuan-dunedin-chinese-garden/article/GC7UdpW)

“Since bringing the waist drum to Dunedin in 2015, the Dunedin Senior Citizens Chinese Association have performed it on various stages around the community. These performances are enjoyed by all those who attend.” (https://hail.to/lan-yuan-dunedin-chinese-garden/article/GC7UdpW)
