HONG KONG, Sept 29 — Thousands of excited spectators packed the grid-like streets of a usually quiet Hong Kong neighbourhood Thursday night, eager for the resurrection of the city’s fire dragon dance after a three-year pandemic-spurred dormancy.
The dragon was hoisted by hundreds of volunteers who danced and bounded along the streets of the Tai Hang neighbourhood in a raucous parade. Cheung, who has been part of the ritual for two decades, said organisers have been practising their performance since March, soon after Hong Kong scrapped all coronavirus restrictions.
The ritual coincides with the Mid-Autumn Festival, a traditional annual event celebrated by millions across the world, with much of the Chinese diaspora gathering for family dinners, lighting lanterns, and eating mooncakes.
