| | | I heard that there is a Fire Dragon Dance Parade in Tai Hang (no idea where that is! haha)
I also heard that ppl like to go to the park (victoria park? kowloon park) and hang out, look at the moon, eat mooncake. but it seems like a really family thing. | |

Tai Hang is right across the tram track from Victoria Park. If you can find Queen's College, you'll see signs (probably in Chinese though) to the Fire Dragon Parade. I've seen it once, very impressive, definitely a can't-miss especially if you are new to HK. | |

The time now is 09:03 PM. | |
