"Fun in ICH" Series – September

 

Pok Fu Lam Fire Dragon Crafting Workshop

Before the Mid-Autumn Festival, villagers of Pok Fu Lam Village work together to craft fire dragons in various dimensions. The fire dragon parade will tour around the village on the 14th and 15th days of the 8th month of the lunar calendar and practices of a series of rituals are not less. In the workshop, participants will work together to tie up dried hays to the fire dragon framework with metal wires. Participants will learn more about this local ICH item through the hands-on experience in fire dragon making.
