Earlier today I witnessed the Tai Hang Fire Dragon Festival where a 67-metre (220-foot) long dragon snakes around the network of narrow paths in the historic Tai Hang area of Hong Kong.
Tai Hang Fire Dragon Festival is an annual event that attacts thousands every night, to the narrow streets of Tai Hang. The fire dragon is made of thousands of burning incense sticks and is a tradition that started in around 1880 when Tai Hang Was still a coastal fishing village and it keeps plague away from the village.
Although, Tai Hang is no longer a fishing village under threat of plague the traditional still continues for each September/October around the time of the mid-autumn festival.
Below are my images from this evening, try to look out for the Art Garfunkel lookalike in the crowd and the minor HK celebrity busy with a selfie.
