So. Much. Incense. Also, a gigantic crowd. The parade's energy was intense and exciting. I don't know how I found my way to the front.
According to legend, the fire dragon parade commemorates a dragon of the past, which fought off a deadly plague that nearly wiped out the entire population of a village near current day Hong Kong. The parade is unique to Hong Kong.
Sorry about the blurriness in my photos. Its my camera. I swear.
