Tai Hang Fire Dragon Festival

Festival musicians Girl beats the drum A festival banner Naked fire dragon head Festival banner in Tai Hang Lantern banner Lantern banner Banner reads: Tai Hang Fire Dragon Festival organiser, ready for action Organiser waits for joss sticks Old buildings adorned with lights Taking measurements Break time on a hot night Fixing joss sticks to the dragon's head Dozens of joss sticks await placement Working amid clouds of smoke A worker handles dozens of burning joss sticks Working amid burning joss sticks Working amid burning joss sticks A worker distributes burning joss sticks A worker distributes burning joss sticks Organisers stretch the dragon's body More and more burning joss sticks Completing the head One of two fire balls Drummer initiates the dance Dragon dance begins Dragon chases balls of fire Dragon chases balls of fire Cute little girls bear lotus lanterns Waving to the cameras and the crowds The dance wards off catastrophe
