passing of the Firedragon


despite living in Hong Kong for more than 30years, quite poorly informed of the local customs during traditional festive seasons. one such is the firedragon dance in Tai Hang, Causeway Bay, Hong Kong during the mid-Autumn Festival.
there's this huge dragon, carried by dozens of strong men, meandering through the streets of Tai Hang.
found some info from the Hong Kong Tourism Board here. but as usual, very superficial and lack substance.
the atmosphere was good, and it's good to see there's still so many people out to witness such an event that apparently has been passed on for over a century.
