				Every year, on the occasion of the Mid-Autumn festival, the Tai Hang area is animated by a huge dragon made of wood and incense. The cerimony has its origin in 1880 . At that time, Tai Hang was only a small Hakka village and the villagers , most of them farmers and fishermen , Led a simple and peaceful life . The tale started when the villagers once killed a serpent in a stormy night , but in the next morning , the dead body of the serpent had disappeared . A few days later , a plague spread out in Tai Hang and many people died of infection . Meanwhile , a village elder saw Buddha one night in his dream and was told to perform a Fire Dragon Dance and to burn fire crackers in the Mid-Autumn Festival. The sulphur in the fire crackers drove away the disease and the villagers were saved. Since then , every year the Tai Hang residents would perform the Fire Dragon Dance for three nights in the Mid-Autumn Festival in memory of the incident.

				Most of Hong Kong has gone through a redevelopment process. Where once peasants lived in their hovels, skyscrapers have been built and nothig remains to witness the past. A few exceptions remain, like isles of a forgotten time. One of them is Lo Wai village in Tsuen Wan: walking along its narrow streets is like visiting the Hong Kong of the Sixties.

				This is a typical landscape in Hong Kong peripherical areas: immense builidngs hostings hundreds of housing units. They often do not look like nice places,as the maintenance is very poor. This one is in Tsuen Wan and has a pale green color - a diversion from the usual grey tones.
