Tai Hang Fire Dragon Dance

Tai Hang Fire Dragon Dance has a history of over 140 years. This year, it will be held for three nights, from 24th to 26th September (the 14th to 16th day of the eighth lunar month) in the Tai Hang area in Causeway Bay. It takes around 300 people taking turns to parade the dragon. Made of rattan frames, ropes and pearl straws, the fire dragon is about 67 meters long, longer than five double-decker buses. It is adorned with over 10,000 burning incense sticks. Two pearls, with incense sticks all over, will guide the dragon along its path through the streets and alleys of Tai Hang, passing by Lin Fa Kung, Sun Chun Street and Tung Lo Wan Road, and Wun Sha Street is the best place to watch.
Tai Hang Fire Dragon Dance was first performed in 1880 to ward off a plague and it has evolved into an annual festive activity. It was inscribed on China's National List of Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2011. In recent years, a small 20-metre LED dragon carried by children has been introduced to inherit this tradition.
