Video of traditional end-of-Chinese New Year celebrations in Tong Fuk Village, Lantau Island, Hong Kong.
Begins with worshipping of village temples, gods and goddesses, followed by the Poon Choi feast - a type of meal originating 8 centuries ago.
1 Dragon and 2 Lions from Tong Fuk Village, and 2 Unicorns and 2 Lions from neighbouring Lo Wai, San Wai and Shui Hau village respectively, perform for the villagers.
More than 160 tables, and 2000 people make up this event, making this the largest poon choi gathering in Hong Kong.
Hope you enjoy watching a little bit of a fast vanishing tradition.
Thank you for watching.
