Description
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.
Smoke and fire swirled in the air, wafting from the dragon's 67-metre (219-feet) body which is made up of thousands of incense sticks.
The dragon was hoisted by hundreds of volunteers who danced and bounded along the streets of the Tai Hang neighbourhood in a raucous parade. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
