    Your Friendly Neighbourhood Guide To Tai Hang

    Known for its trendy hangouts and an overall up-and-coming vibe, Tai Hang is definitely one of the coolest neighbourhoods in the city. 
    Su RitterBy Su Ritter2022-09-22Updated:2022-09-23No Comments9 Mins Read
    Tai Hang Road road sign

    Nestled between bustling Causeway Bay and the tranquil hills of Tai Tam reservoir, Tai Hang is a vibrant neighbourhood worth a visit. From humble beginnings as a Hakka village perched on the pre-reclamation Hong Kong harbourfront,  Tai Hang now fuses a charming mix of old school Hong Kong with a gentrified and edgy vibe. Whilst not particularly large in terms of actual square mileage, its densely populated streets, and cosy alleyways are home to a wide variety of restaurants, quirky shops, insta-worthy cafes, and grade-listed Hong Kong buildings!

    How to get to Tai Hang?

    Tai Hang is well served by public transport. Located a stone’s throw away from Tin Hau MTR station, hop on the Island Line and use exit A2 upon leaving. A 10-minute walk from the station, go along Causeway Road before turning left, just past Queen’s College, down Fire Dragon Path. Alternatively, ride one of the many buses that stop at Tin Hau Public Transport Interchange (next to the MTR station) or take a tram and get off at Victoria Park (Westbound) or Hing Fat Street (Eastbound).

    What to do in Tai Hang?

    Be mesmerised by the “Fire Dragon Dance”

    fire dragon dance in Tai Hang HK
    67-metre-long dragon lit up by incense sticks at Fire Dragon Dance (© bushton3 via Canva)

    Held yearly during Mid-Autumn Festival, this is a not-to-be-missed spectacle of fire, light, dance, and sound. Led by a 300-person strong team of Tai Hang residents past and present, the star of the three-day parade is a magnificent 67-metre-long dragon lit up by incense sticks. Legend has it that this dance became a yearly ritual after it miraculously warded off a plague in the 19th century. If crowds are not your thing, immerse yourself in this piece of cultural heritage by visiting the Fire Dragon Heritage Centre, a 3-storey Grade III listed building, located on School Street.
