There are two types of dragons：the western dragon and the Chinese loong. They are very different.
Western dragons have wings like birds. They can fly. Their wings are big and strong，but they don't have feathers. They usually have green or red skin. They have four legs with a long tail. They can breathe fire that can kill people. They look dangerous and scary. In stories，heroes often fight with these dragons.
The Chinese loong is very different from the western dragon. They don't have wings，but they can fly. They are long and thin like snakes，and they also have four legs. The Chinese loong is usually yellow or gold. These colours mean good luck. They can swim very well. They live in rivers and lakes. They can also walk on land. The loong is an important animal in Chinese culture. People think they are powerful and kind，and they can bring good luck and happiness to people. There are also many stories about the Chinese loong.
