Tourists staying at Mongkok hotels Hong Kong have to offer such as the renowned Dorsett Mongkok Hotel Hong Kong had the opportunity to visit this cultural festival.

Dating back to the 19th century, and commemorating the mishaps that befell the village, the fire dragon dance is believed to have dispelled the plague and is continued ever since. The festival includes a 67metre long dragon that carries thousands of burning joss sticks and paraded along the backstreets of Tai Hang in Causeway Bay.
