Tai Hang Fire Dragon Dance will feature more than 300 performers parading a 67-metre-long dragon through the grid-like streets of the charming Tai Hang district. - Originating over 140 years ago, the Fire Dragon Dance emerged as Tai Hang grappled with the hardships of plague within its farming and fishing communities.
- Adding to the festivities is the recently opened Tai Hang Fire Dragon Heritage Centre, housed in a Grade 3 Historic Building at 12 School Street.
