2024 is the year of Dragon in the Chinese calendar. Echoing the festive ambience, RASHK is delighted to take a guided visit to the Tai Hang Fire Dragon Heritage Centre, which was opened in 2022 with a mission to preserve and honour the heritage of the Tai Hang Fire Dragon Dance.

Housed inside a Grade 3 three-story historic building – once known as the Hung Shing Yi Hok, a school founded by Hong Kong Confucian Society in 1909 – the centre showcases the craft and history of fire dragon-making by exhibitions, workshops, talks and other educational activities.

After the visit, group members are welcome to join the optional self-pay Hakka lunch at the social enterprise restaurant on the first floor.

Speaker: English speaking guide commissioned by the centre

Time: 11:00 am – 12:00 noon, guided tour; optional lunch after the tour

Admission: For the guided tour only (optional lunch is NOT included):

$100 for members and $150 for guests / non-members

As an NGO, we are granted a discount price for members of our group to enjoy a Hakka lunch in the centre. The lunch price will be notified nearer the date when the menu is finalised.

Registration: Please email <membership@royalasiaticsociety.org.hk> in advance to register your attendance and indicate whether you are interested in joining the optional lunch.
