The dance is performed by a shaman, wearing traditional costumes, riding a paper horse made from bamboo and colored paper, simulating a sacred journey. The sounds of drums, gongs and prayers create a mystical atmosphere, attracting the community to participate.

Nowadays, women and young people also participate in the paper horse dance as a way to preserve heritage. For the Nung Din people in Tung Chung Pho, this is a sacred cultural feature, cherished and preserved as part of the national soul.
