#TaiHangFireDragonDance #HongKong #FireDragonDance #MidAutumnFestival #TaiHang #HongKongCulture #CulturalHeritage #HongKong4K #CityNoWalk #大坑舞火龍 #香港 #中秋節 The Tai Hang Fire Dragon Dance is a Hong Kong Mid-Autumn tradition with over 140 years of history. It is said to have begun in 1880 as a ritual to ward off disease and bring peace to the village. Today, hundreds of performers dance a 67-metre dragon covered in burning incense through Tai Hang’s streets, filling the night with glowing embers and swirling smoke. The tradition was added to China’s national intangible cultural heritage list in 2011.Behind the spectacle, the traditional craft of making the fire dragon has faced a shortage of successors as master craftsmen grow older. Passing these skills to the next generation is essential to keeping this heritage alive.
