Rolling Dragon Latern (hkdigit-20120927-184558)

To celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival of this Year of the Dragon, the Hong Kong Heritage Museum has invited two local master crafters to build a mega-size lantern in the shape of a “lotus dragon” soaring and dancing in the air. The dragon’s head is styled after the “rolling dragon” of Haifeng and Lufeng in southern China, and the body is made up of more than thirty lotus lanterns. Visitors can enjoy the festive fun while appreciating the excellent craftsmanship of local masters.
