¿Cultural and

Natural Heritage

The Government is committed to preserving and promoting Hong Kong's intangible cultural and natural heritage. In 2011, four traditional Hong Kong events, including the Tai Hang Fire Dragon Dance (pictured) were inscribed onto the third national list of intangible cultural heritage. The dragon dance has been held during the Mid-Autumn Festival for more than 100 years to commemorate a legend about the warding-off of a plague that broke out in Tai Hang village in 1880.
