When it comes to celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival, no event is grander than the traditional Tai Hang Fire Dragon Dance. This cherished tradition is making a comeback this year, having been cancelled for three years due to the pandemic. It serves as a commemoration of the triumph over the plague and evil spirits. Villagers take part in an awe-inspiring fire dragon dance, parading through the alleys and streets of Tai Hang. The magnificent dragon, spanning a remarkable length of 67 meters, is meticulously crafted using tens of thousands of incense sticks.
From September 28 to 29, between 8.15pm to 10.30pm, and from 8.15pm to 10pm on the final day, September 30, you can attend the public event in Tai Hang.
