A Tradition that Shines Bright
The iconic Tai Hang Fire Dragon Dance, which has been designated as a National Intangible Cultural Heritage, this year takes place on 16-18 September. Over 300 performers will work together to carry and manoeuvre a massive 67-metre-long fire-lit dragon through the grid-like streets of the Tai Hang neighbourhood. The dragon, made of pearl straws and covered in around 12,000 incense sticks, requires seamless teamwork to keep it dancing.
