Tai Hang – Fire Dragon Dance

Every Mid-Autumn Festival, the quaint neighbourhood of Tai Hang comes alive as a glowing dragon — carried by over 300 performers — dances through the streets for three nights. This fascinating tradition of Hong Kong dates back to the 19th century, when residents of the then small Hakka village combated a plague with a fire dragon dance, accompanied by roaring gongs and drums. Today, the Tai Hang Fire Dragon Dance is officially listed as a National Intangible Cultural Heritage, and continues to attract crowds for the blazing spectacle each year.
