19th September 2005Held every year during the Chinese Mid Autumn is the Tai Hang Fire Dragon festival, which just happens to be right outside my front door. Quite a pleasant surprise as I didn't even know that it existed - it was hard to miss with all the block roads, plus the heavy clouds of incense were a bit of a dead away.It was great to get to see the Fire Dragon being put together, and joining in with the crowd to see the confetti explosion when the Fire Dragon comes alive. Plus the obligatory cute Lantern girls made a showing too.
