Cool Beans: Uber rolls out lion dance on demand service for Chinese New Year

Private car hire service Uber is not just going places, it’s joining in the party. 

From now through Feb. 5, you can use your Uber app to order a black cab to get home or to the office and have a lion dance troupe waiting there within minutes. 

Of course, as with the rest of the Uber service, delivery depends on availability and may take more than a few tries.

The lion dance on demand service, which runs from 9am — 6pm each day, is also available in Guangzhou, Shanghai, Shenzen, and will set you back about $50.
