There's No Evil Spirits Here!
Once the family festivities are over it's time for the dragons to start their work. You can hear drums everywhere which means the dragon is on the loose chasing away the evil spirits for the coming year.
Here in Sai Kung the dragon went first to the temple where it was blessed and prepared for its work. Then off it went to every business in town to chase away their evil. Since some businesses were closed for a few days over the new year, the dragon has been out daily to go to businesses when they reopen.
Here you see him doing his thing and the business owner is feeding him lettuce representing sharing the wealth to bring prosperity in the future.
Note all the guys with dragon legs. They switch off when they get tired from the dancing.
