Hong Kong Tam Kung Festival - Piu Sik Parade (hkdigit-20070524-120108)

Piu Sik where Piu means floating and Sik means colourful. The children dressed in lavish costumes, as fairies, characters from Chinese legends or modern heroes, are suspended by a group of hidden rods and wires. When seeing from a distance, they appear to be floating.
