Hong Kong still retains many traditional celebrations. During the Mid-Autumn Festival from September 28 to 30, 2023, the Fire Dragon Dance will be performed in Tai Hang, Hong Kong (three nights before and after the Mid-Autumn Festival every year, welcoming the moon on the 14th day of the eighth lunar month, appreciating the moon on the 15th day of the eighth lunar month, and bidding farewell to the moon on the 16th day of the eighth lunar month). This traditional activity has been passed down for nearly 140 years. The fire dragon that is remade every year is 67 meters long and consists of a dragon head, a dragon tail and 31 sections of the dragon body. At that time, there will be loud gongs and drums, and a dragon covered with burning incense sticks will be carried by the crowd and shuttled through the streets and alleys, dancing like a "fire dragon" flying up and down. The Dakeng Fire Dragon Cultural Museum is "high-profile" hidden in the alley. If it weren't for the small sign at the entrance of the alley, it would be difficult to find its existence. At the same time, it is high-profile. As long as you walk into the alley, you can see the whole street is full of colorful flags dancing in the wind, and you know that the Dakeng Fire Dragon Cultural Museum must be not far away. The mini models of dancing fire dragons displayed in the Dakeng Fire Dragon Cultural Museum are all hidden "blind boxes". There are many celebrity faces hidden in the fire dragon dancing team, many of whom are household names that can be said off the top of their heads.
