大坑火龍館舞火龍表演

始於1880年的大坑中秋舞火龍活動，已經有140年歷史。每年在中秋節前後的三個晚上，即農曆八月十四(迎月)、十五(賞月)、十六(送月)，火龍都會在大坑社區內舞動巡遊，寓意保佑大家合境平安。中秋舞火龍已成為大坑每年的重要活動，亦是香港旅遊發展局重點推廣項目之一。在鑼鼓聲帶領下，近300人舞動著插上逾萬多枝線香的巨大火龍，穿梭大坑一帶的大街小巷，氣勢十足。

中華人民共和國國務院於2011年6月，就文化保護、傳承和管理工作上的肯定，把大坑中秋舞火龍活動列為第三批國家級非物質文化遺產名錄。

Tai Hang Fire Dragon Dance first performed on the day of Mid-Autumn Festival in 1880 and thus possessed a history of over 140 years. Every year, three consecutive nights starting from the 14th night of the eighth lunar month, the annual Tai Hang Fire Dragon Dance is taken place across the Tai Hang community to pray for safety and peace.

Tai Hang Fire Dragon Dance becomes a signature event in Tai Hang at the Mid-Autumn Festival and it is one of the annual highlights promoted by the Hong Kong Tourism Board.
Accompanied by traditional Chinese gongs and drums, the giant Fire Dragon, festooned with over 10,000 burning incense sticks, needs a team of about 300 people to weave its way through the streets in Tai Hang.

In June 2011, Tai Hang Fire Dragon Dance was successfully inscribed onto the Third National List of Intangible Cultural Heritage by the State Council of the People’s Republic of China, to recognize the efforts in preserving and promoting local heritage.
