      Each Mid-Autumn, Tai Hang comes alive as the iconic Fire Dragon Dance parades through the streets.

A recognised National Intangible Cultural Heritage, the 67-metre fire dragon made of incense sticks will be led by 300 performers, continuing to draw crowds to witness this neighbourhood’s cherished, time-honoured custom in Hong Kong.
