Fire Dragon : a film on the Daiwaihk Channel

Jump to Comments

Hey Hey , 

The Dragon is the symbol of Hong kong . One of his spectacular manifestations occurs during the mid autumn festival in the district of Tai Hang, near Causeway Bay. There, every year, thousands of curious onlookers gather to see and feel, the dance of the Fire Dragon, being paraded by the locals in remembrance of the disappearance of the plague, during the 19 th century . This is defintely not to be missed, as a great way to share a with Hong Kong people a festival that is unique Asia. 

What shape does this dragon take? It is a thick rope of coco fiber 67 m in length upon which thousands of incense sticks are inserted. I wanted, with Anne SoFi, to get up close and personal with this mighty beast and also, to share our smoke tears with you, here what we came up with, please enjoy :
