Description
Hong Kong residents and tourists pack into the city's Tai Hang neighbourhood to watch the annual fire dragon dance. The dragon, composed of thousands of burning incense sticks, is paraded around by hundreds of volunteers.
The ritual originated in the 1800s to ward off the plague and coincides with the Mid-Autumn Festival, a traditional annual event celebrated by millions across the world. IMAGES
